How to save tax for the money from freelance work? As i already have a full time job.

I joined @mindtree in Jan 2022. Suddenly there is a 10k deduction in salary in the month of April. The salary slip say 10k deduction as INCOME TAX. Mindtree says "You come under 20% slab according to the income tax calculations. When all the tax slabs are applied you will have to pay yearly tax around Rs. X amount. So that amount will be deducted in monthly basis." Why sudden income tax deduction? Why was that not deducted in the month of Jan Feb March ? How can i recover that 10k every month?

Everyone has a different perspective on this but would love to hear yours. Someone has debt ranging say 4-5% interest rates.

I know the latter looks better on paper but what about the psychological factors of being debt free and the guaranteed return on interest savings.
