Hi Tax expert, I requested my employer to deduct VPF from my salary. I was under the assumption that if VPF is deducted then the total taxable income will be Taxable income - VPF paid. But it looks like it is not the case. The payroll team still deducts tax on Taxable + VPF and deducts VPF. Is this correct? Please help!
