So you have to pay taxes on your severance package as well?

I just want to vent out! Many businesses are earning double than me and paying less than 50% of tax and yet here I am as a professional bound to pay tax. And that’s not enough, I still can get audited!

So I had an organisation as an SDE2 and left it within 4 days as I got a better offer. I did not resign through official channels because I hadn't got access to them yet but I left a proper email trail. Now come tax filing season, I see that the previous org has shown a salary payment to me for two months according to my Form26. This is when I hadn't even updated my bank account with them so I did not receive any salary. What should I do next? Currently tax filing is on hold and I'll be doing a late filing with a penalty.

I was working in a toxic environment, which should be a separate post, too long to explain here, tldr, I was put in pip, and then I resigned and put my notice, I like a responsible employee started finishing off my projects and tasks, giving KTs to other folks and junior. but now after this my company is saying ur lwd is 2 days from now, when in my contract notice is 2 months, HR says company has the right to waive off notice period without paying severance. What can I do currently, I don't have any job back up, so have to be unemployed for a while without any severance. Is this legally right from company sides, what possible things can I do currently?

I got salary of 250000 in April which includes bonus + leave encashment around 90k, for which there was a 50k income tax cut for this month. HR said since bonus was more, they had to deduct 50k. Is this how it is usually done? Is that amount justified?

I will go first: TC - 18 LPA Paid Advanced Tax - 40k (final tax will be lesser)

Whats the severence package given to employees laid off in Jan 23 from Amazon, the news reports says 5 months pay, is it that strainght forward

Post phonepe declined to acquire Zest, following ate the scenarios at Zest : 1. 33% employees laid off 2. 33% employees were hired at Phonepe 3. 33% employees have jobs at Zest but they are thinking Zest to be a sinking ship so might move away.

Microsoft has lost all respect from me today. Guys please spread the word so that all come to know reality. I am writing this post on behalf of my friend who is still in bad mood having mental trauma. Yesterday my friend from Microsoft was let go from his job in India. He was being pressurised to write relieving letter saying he was quitting at his own will and that the HR apparently said if he didn't write the email in next half or 1 hour he won't be getting any severance or benefits by Microsoft India. Wait..who does this to an employee? He was so tensed yesterday that he is leaving for his hometown in few days, he doest want to do any job for some time, he was literally crying. He said the ones who didnt got laid off have lost the will to work. His friends who got fired are crying as it was least expected from Microsoft. imo even amazon and sf handled the indian layoffs in a better way than Microsoft. Other then that Microsoft peeps are not allowed to write anything rubbish on social media. You can yourself see 3 rounds of layoff have happened in India and you will rarelly see any post yet on LinkedIn. Just imagine to what extent these firms are going to save their image. 😵‍💫🥺 msft used to have best people culture but now its something unimaginable😣
