INTRODUCTION

Women all across the world have demonstrated that they are vibrant, talented, truthful, and diligent in a variety of disciplines. Their ongoing efforts and contributions to the country’s progress have demonstrated that women are not inferior. Women who are educated and contemporary have let go of their inhibitions and concerns. Females have demonstrated to the world that they can be successful as mothers as well as professionals, academics, bureaucrats, and politicians. However, in previous ages, women could not be so tough and furious. In reality, they were exposed to numerous difficulties and were denied their human rights. Although numerous places in the world still reflect no changes, there has been some progress in the condition of women, and governments and other organisations are also realising the need of preserving women’s human rights.

While India struggled to break free from the constraints of the British Raj, women stepped forward to share the burden. Rani Laxmibai represents the zenith of female strength and courage. Several freedom fighters, including Sarojini Naidu, Sucheta Kriplani, and Vijay Laxmi Pandit, were pivotal in the Indian independence struggle. The woman’s astonishing display of bravery and persistence hinted at her hidden abilities. Mary Kom, Sania Mirza, Saina Nehwal, and Sumitra Mahajan have all made significant contributions to their sports. Modern Indian women have honed their talents and launched a life-long battle against societal restraints, emotional attachments, religious obstacles, and conventional clutches.

Despite these accomplishments, many obstacles remain: harsh laws and societal norms persist, women continue to be underreported at all levels of political leadership, and one in every five women and girls aged 15 to 49 report sexual and physical assault by an intimate partner within a year.

PLIGHT OF WOMEN AND VIOLATION OF THEIR RIGHTS

Women’s feminist groups have worked tirelessly for many years to address these societal injustices, organising support for legislative reform or protesting in the streets to demand that their rights be honoured. New movements have blossomed in the internet era, including the #MeToo campaign, which also emphasises the prevalence of sexual identity abuse and assault. Here are a handful of the many women’s rights abuses that she faces daily:

1. Inequality of Gender

2. Violence against women

3. Sexual Harassment and Violence

4. Discrimination at work

5. Over 500,000 women die each year as a consequence of pregnancy and maternity care-related causes.

6. HIV infection rates among women are increasing at an alarming rate. Because of their financial and social vulnerabilities, young women now make up the bulk of newly infected people aged 15 to 24.

7. Sexual identity abuse kills and disables as many women between the ages of 15 and 44 as cancer. Perpetrators are often unpunished.

8. Globally, women are twice as likely as males to be illiterate.

9. As a result of their working circumstances and characteristics, a disproportionately significant percentage of women are destitute in both developing and affluent countries.

EFFORTS TOWARDS RECOGNISING WOMEN’S RIGHTS BY THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY

UN Women is a United Nations organisation committed to gender equality and women’s empowerment. UN Women was established to accelerate progress in meeting the needs of women and girls worldwide. It works internationally to make the Sustainable Development Goals vision a reality for women and girls, and it advocates for women’s equitable involvement in all aspects of life via four key goals.:

• Women lead, participate in and benefit from governance systems on an equal footing.

• Women and girls participate in, and have a greater impact on, creating long-term peace and resilience, and they benefit equally from natural disaster and conflict prevention, as well as humanitarian assistance.

The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) (1979) is a landmark international treaty that tackles gender discrimination and offers particular protections for women’s rights. The agreement established a global charter of women’s and girls’ rights, as well as governments’ responsibilities to guarantee that women may enjoy those rights.

UN Women has devised a rapid and focused response centred on five priorities to reduce the impact of the COVID-19 disaster on women and girls while also ensuring long-term recovery benefits them:

1. Gender-based violence, particularly domestic abuse, is minimised and decreased.

2. Social security and economic stimulation programmes assist women and girls.

3. People believe in and practise equal sharing of caring responsibilities.

4. COVID-19 contingency planning and decision-making are led by women and girls.

5. Gender perspectives are incorporated into data and coordination approaches.

In 1946, the United Nations Economic and Social Council formed the Commission on the Status of Women to produce recommendations and reports to the Council on strengthening women’s rights in politics, economics, social order, and education.

THE INDIAN PERSPECTIVE OF WOMEN’S RIGHTS

In the post-independence era, political authorities recognised the importance of women’s liberation in the country’s growth. They recognised that a country’s prosperity cannot occur until women are given equal rights. Unfortunately, the target has yet to be met. Men continue to fail to give women the credit they deserve. It is past time for society to change its perspective on women. Professionally, they must be regarded as equals with their male counterparts.

Because coordinated and integrated measures are essential to ensure the survival, safety, and empowerment of girls, the government has launched the “Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao” programme. Sukanya Samridhi Yojana, a modest deposit plan for the female child, was also introduced as part of the Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao campaign, to prevent gender-biased sex selection elimination and assure the survival and protection of a girl child. Other initiatives include Mahila-E-Haat (a women’s online marketing platform), Mahila Shakti Kendra (a rural women’s empowerment organisation that provides skill development, digital literacy, employment, and health care), and UJJWALA (a women’s empowerment initiative) (scheme for prevention of trafficking and rescue, rehabilitation of women).

The Indian government has currently created and implemented a total of legislation empowering women and girls. These are:

• The Prohibition of Child Marriage Act,2006
• Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace Act, 2013
• National Commission for Women Act, 1990
• Indecent Representation of Women ( Prevention) Act, 1986
• Equal Remuneration Act,1976
• Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act, 1971
•  Indian Divorce Act, 1969
• Dowry Prohibition Act,1961
• Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Act ,1971
• Special Marriage Act, 1954

WOMEN’S HUMAN RIGHTS UNDER CONSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK

• Article 14 guarantees the right to equality.
• Right against Discrimination- No citizen should be subject to any handicap, liability, limitation, or condition, based solely on religion, race, caste, sex, place of birth, or any combination of these factors
• Consider stores, public restrictions, hotels, and public entertainment venues. The usage of wells, tanks, bathing Ghats, highways, and public resorts is funded entirely or partially by state money or is devoted to the general public. However, under Article 3(3), the state may make special provisions for women as an exemption to the non-discrimination requirements.
• Equal Opportunity in Public Employment- Women have equal opportunities in government employment because there is fairness and equality for all common people, whether males or females, in respect of employment, occupation, or appointment to any office under the state, and no citizen can be unqualified for or discriminated against in respect of any employment or office under the state solely based on religion, race, caste, sex, descent, place of birth, residence, or national origin.
• Right to Freedom of Expression- Women have the right under Article 19 (1) (a) of the Indian Constitution to speak out on any issue that affects them.
• Right to work- Recognizing such a right in its structure, the Indian Constitution, in article 19 (1) (g), grants the right to work to Indian women by giving freedom of employment, profession, and business to all citizens.
• Right to Life and Personal Liberty- Article 21 of the Indian Constitution guarantees all women and men the right to live freely.
• Right against Exploitation- Article 23 of the Indian Constitution safeguards against human trafficking and bonded labour, acting as a safeguard for women’s protection and ensuring their right to work.
• Right to Livelihood- Article 39 (a) states that all citizens, men and women alike, have the right to an adequate means of subsistence. Article 23(3) of the UDHR recognises the same right, stating that everyone who works has the right to reasonable and favourable payment.
• Equal Pay for Equal Labor- Article 39 (d) of the Indian Constitution states that the state should, in particular, direct its policies toward ensuring equal pay for equal work for both men and women.
• Just and Human Working Conditions and Maternity Relief- Article 42 of the Constitution states that the state must provide for just and humane working conditions as well as maternity leave.
• Right of Constitutional Remedies- If any of these fundamental rights are violated, the aggrieved woman can approach the Supreme Court and High Court and file a writ petition under Article 32 and Article 226 to seek redress; however, there is no such mechanism available in the case of Directive Principles of State Policy, which are not enforceable by any court with writ jurisdiction.

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTIONS

Despite these accomplishments and improvements, there are still considerable issues with implementing these standards. These are graphically shown in the Secretary General’s assessment of conflict-related sexual assault in 2012. Gender-based violence prevails in many settings, and women have restricted access to justice, decision-making, and resources. Previous Secretary-General reports also emphasized the remaining barriers to women’s participation in peace processes and presented extensive ideas and policy measures for United Nations agencies to overcome these barriers more effectively in partnership with other stakeholders.

These unresolved challenges highlight the value of a holistic approach. Because human rights are linked and interdependent, women and girls’ rights in war and post-conflict settings must be prioritised, including civil and political rights as well as social, economic, and cultural rights. The same holds for peace and reconciliation reforms: safeguarding the human rights of all women and girls is important for comprehensive post-conflict development.

For example, achieving socioeconomic rights is crucial for decreasing gender-based violence and allowing women to take more active roles in reconciliation. Absolute poverty and unequal access to land, property, education, and services have been mentioned as reasons for women’s low participation in peace processes and politics, and structural differences, notably socioeconomic inequality, are regularly recognised as underlying causes of gender-based violence. As a result, treaties such as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women and the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights play an important role in ensuring women’s rights during and after the war.

INTRODUCTION

Since before the arrival of the first colonists, income taxes have been a common idea. It is regarded as a tax that a citizen pays to the state, based on their income and the profits of their businesses. The state uses the money it receives from taxes for a variety of things, such as providing public services, building infrastructure, paying for the military and other forms of defense, and providing subsidies. The Income Tax Act of 1961 is a sophisticated and extensive statute that covers all of the different laws and rules that govern how the country administers its tax system. Income tax is levied, handled by, collected from, and collected by the Indian government. According to Section 4 of the Indian Income Tax Act, income tax will be assessed for the corresponding assessment year based on each person’s total previous-year income at the rates set out by the Finance Act. As the name suggests, tax deducted at source (TDS) aims to collect money right from the source of income. It combines the ideas of “pay as you earn” and “collect as it is being earned,” and is essentially an indirect method of “collecting tax.” It is important to the government because it gets ready for tax collection, guarantees a steady stream of income, and gives taxes a wider base and greater reach.

In addition, it offers the taxpayer a straightforward and practical method of payment while also distributing the tax’s incidence. The person receiving the income is typically responsible for paying income tax. However, the government makes sure that income tax is taken out of your payments in advance using provisions known as ‘Tax Deducted at Source.’ The net sum is given to the income recipient (after reducing TDS). The recipient will include the gross amount in his income and subtract the TDS amount from his overall tax obligation. The sum already withheld and paid on the recipient’s behalf is accepted as payment in full. The mentioned provisions are used to fulfill the recipient’s tax obligations. As a taxpayer, it is our responsibility to declare the amount of income we have earned and paid taxes on in our income tax return.

According to Section 192 of the Income Tax Act of 1961, anyone responsible for paying any income that is chargeable under the head ‘salary’ must deduct income tax from the assessee’s anticipated income under the head salary. The tax must be computed at the average income tax rate based on the rates currently in effect. The deduction must be made at the time of the actual payment. However, unless the estimated salary income exceeds the maximum amount exempt from the tax that applies to an individual during the relevant financial year, no tax is required to be withheld at the source. Once the tax has been deducted, it must be deposited in a government account, and the employee must be given a certificate of tax deducted at the source (also known as Form No. 16). The employee must include this certificate with his income tax return to receive the TDS credit on their income tax assessment.

Lastly, the employer/deductor must complete Form No. 24Q, Quarterly Statements, and submit it to the Income-tax Department. Salary is said to be the remuneration received by or accruing to an individual for service rendered as a result of an express or implied contract. The statute gives an inclusive but not exhaustive definition of salary. As per Sec. 17(1), salary includes therein-

• Wages
• Annuity or pension
• Gratuity
• fees, commission, perquisites, or profits in lieu of salary
• Advance salary
• Receipt from provident fund
• Contribution of the employer to a recognized provident fund in excess of the prescribed limit
• Leave encashment
• compensation as a result of variation of service contract etc.
• Government contribution to a pension scheme.

The law mandates that tax be withheld at source from earnings covered by the head salary. As a result, the existence of an employer-employee relationship is a requirement before a specific receipt can be taxed as a head salary. When an employee is subject to the employer’s right to direct how he carries out instructions in addition to working under his direct control and supervision, this type of relationship is said to exist. Therefore, the law essentially mandates the deduction of tax in the following situations: (a) When the employer pays the employee. The income under the head salaries is above the maximum amount not subject to tax, (b) the payment is in the nature of a salary, and (c) the payment has been made. Both payment and deduction of tax are in the hands of the employer.

Even if an individual or HUF is not subject to a tax audit, payments made by them that total more than Rs 50,000 per month must be TDS-deducted at a rate of 5%. Furthermore, individuals and HUF required to deduct TDS at 5% are exempt from applying for TAN. Your employer deducts TDS at the corresponding income tax slab rates. Banks deduct TDS at a rate of 10%. If they don’t have your PAN information, they may also deduct 20%. The income tax Act specifies the TDS rates for the majority of payments, and the payer deducts TDS based on these rates. If your total taxable income is less than the taxable limit and you provide your employer with investment proof (to claim deductions), you are not required to pay any tax. There should be no TDS deducted from your income as a result.

TDS on payment of pension– It has been clarified by CBDT vide circular No. 761 dt. 13/01/98 that in the case of pensioners receiving pension through nationalized banks, provisions of TDS are applicable in the same manner as they apply to the salary income.

TDS on Retirement Benefits: According to section 17, retirement benefits that an employee receives are taxable under the heading salaries as ‘profits in lieu of salaries’. As a result, they are subject to the TDS provisions outlined in Section 192 and other pertinent sections. As a result, when an employee retires, the employer must compute the TDS while taking these factors into account. However, some of these retirement benefits are either fully or partially exempt from taxation under Section 10.

COMPARISON OF GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES AND PRIVATE SECTOR EMPLOYEES

Rent-Free Accommodation (Unfurnished): It is a benefit that the employee receives from their employer. A prerequisite is simply a non-financial or in-kind benefit provided to an employee. According to the Act’s provisions, these are taxable in the employee’s hands.

• Government Employees: The taxable value of the benefit shall be the License Fees as determined by the Government for the allotment of houses. The License fee is quite nominal.
• Other Employees: House is owned by the Employer. The following shall be the taxable value of the perquisite-
  • If the Population exceeds 25 Lakhs, then 15% of salary.
  • If the Population ranges between 10-25 Lakhs, then 10% of salary.
  • In any other case, 7.5% of salary.

House is taken on lease or rent by the employer: The taxable value of perquisite shall be irrespective of the population. it shall be Actual Rent & 15% of salary whichever is lower.

• Gratuity:
  • Government Employees: The amount of Gratuity received is fully exempt from tax.
  • Other Employees: The Exemption shall be a minimum of the three:
    1. Actual Gratuity Received.
    2. Rs. 1,00,000(Likely to increased to Rs. 20,00,000).
    3. 15/26*Last drawn salary* Completed year of service or part thereof.
• Pension:
  • Government Employees: Fully Exempt.
  • Other Employees:
    1. Non- Government Employees in receipt of Gratuity: Only 1/3rd of the full value of the commuted pension is exempt from tax. So, technically you are required to pay tax on 2/3rd of the value of the commuted pension.
    2. Non-Government Employees not in receipt of Gratuity: Only 1/2nd of the full value of the commuted pension is exempt from tax. Here, you are required to pay tax on half of the value of the commuted pension.

Basis of Difference	Government Employees	Non-government Employees
Entertainment Allowance	Lower of below is allowed as a deduction: 1/5th of salary, or, Rs. 5000	Fully-taxable. No deduction is allowed
Rent-free Accommodation (Unfurnished)	The nominal License fee shall be taxable value.	Certain Percentages of salary shall be taxable value.
Foreign allowances or perquisites	Exempt	Not Exempt

CONCLUSION

The numerous tax benefits enjoyed by the government employee could be one of the reasons which give them an edge over the non-government employee. Tax deducted at Source (TDS), as the name implies, aims to collect money directly from the source of income. It is essentially an indirect way of “collecting tax,” combining the concepts of “pay as you earn” and “collect as it is being earned.” It is crucial to the government because it prepares for tax collection, ensures a consistent income stream, and expands the base and scope of taxes. It also distributes the tax’s incidence while providing the taxpayer with a simple and useful method of payment. Taxes on income are typically paid by the individual receiving the income. However, using a feature known as “Tax Deducted,” the government ensures that income tax is deducted from your payments in advance.
