I and many other retired persons are continous victims of apathy of the employer because of excessive deduction of income tax at the flat rate of 30%, whereas it is clearly stated in IT laws that TDS is to made as per slab rates.
This not only has been causing blocking of huge amount in IT deptt and further harassment in getting the refund back, thus huge loss to a retird person who otherwise is characterized as senior citizen.
All efforts made with the employer and the local IT office ha failed. Please advise suitable approach in this direction...Thanks

Instructions issued by I.T. Deptt.reg, TDS from Salary is very clear. Even though, if any Employer is unauthorisedly contemplating to effect TDS on Pension and other retirement benefits at higher rates causing unnecessary hardship to retired personnel, the matter has to be intimated in writing to the jurisdictional I.T.O.( TDS) in advance for redressal of grievance and issue of necessary direction to the D.D.O. concerned.
