# RazorpayX Payroll Bulk TDS Override
> Learn how to override the TDS amount for unfinalised payroll for multiple employees for a specific payroll month using RazorpayX Payroll's bulk TDS override feature.
Available in
🇮🇳 India
The Bulk TDS Override feature in RazorpayX Payroll enables you to override the TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) amount for multiple employees for a specific payroll month at once. Instead of overriding the TDS for each employee individually, you upload a single template and apply the overrides for your entire workforce in one operation, saving time and ensuring consistency. Bulk TDS Override is allowed only for unfinalised payroll. It is not allowed for finalised or executed payroll.
**Handy Tips**
Bulk TDS Override is available for organisations on Payroll Engine 2.0 and needs to be enabled for your organisation. [Contact Payroll Support](mailto:xpayroll@razorpay.com) for assistance.
## Use Cases
Bulk TDS override is beneficial when you want to set a specific TDS amount for a group of employees for a payroll month, such as:
* Adjusting the TDS to account for tax computed outside the system or for prior employment income.
* Correcting the TDS for a group of employees for a particular payroll month.
**Watch Out!**
* The override applies only to the payroll month you select and only one override per employee per payroll month is allowed.
* Enter the TDS amount in rupees using whole numbers only.
