FAQs

Is bonus taxed at a special fixed rate?

It generally forms part of salary income; actual tax depends on total taxable income and regime.

Can employers deduct TDS on a bonus at a flat rate?

Employers typically estimate TDS using your projected annual tax slab rather than a fixed bonus rate, so the actual deduction can differ from this estimate.
