Seldom. Usually companies don’t ask. But some chircut, chapri companies may be asking.

How often do companies ask to submit form 26AS when joining? I've seen some companies do it and was curious. It will expose all of your income which is unnecessary for any decent company

Financial Privacy - Form 26AS- Grapevine

Moengage is forcing employees to submit Form 26AS and official email mein likha hai Form 16 generate nai karenge if you fail to submit. 

Is this legal? From my very limited understanding, Form 26AS is confidential and should be shared only with the tax officer or someone filing ITR on your behalf. 

Are there any lawyers on here who can chime in? Form 16 nai release karne se will I face any trouble with tax filing?

My knowledge is very limited and any help will be appreciated.

Is asking for Form 26AS and threatening to not release Form 16 legal?

Product Manager

I joined a company in a business/product role last October, realised it is not at all what i was told in terms of culture and expected work( detailed reason not important to the advice I need). Basic training was going on and i resigned in 13 days. It was an amicable resignation with my hiring manager(great guy btw) and org boss. HR said we will not pay you a salary as to adjust against  waiving off of notice period and stuff. I felt at that time it is ok as I did not wanted to serve the notice period(what is the point anyways). I also felt it is not justified to take that salary and wanted to quickly move to next steps. No money hits my bank account from the company as of writing this post.

Cut to this year June, I see an information mentioning a salary being paid to me for that October month while going through my TIS and AIS forms on ITR portal.
I reached out to the company as to clarify this.
I wanted them to provide me with a salary slip and form 16 at least if after all they are saying a salary is paid. 
They are not providing that saying it is adjusted.
I have a few questions here.

1. If a salary(more than 80k)  is mentioned in my tax(even it was so called adjusted), I must be provided with a salary slip right?
2. Am I missing something and am I in the wrong here?
3. What should be my next steps, I don’t want that  salary but shouldn’t they provide the salary slip and form 16 if it mentions it on my tax documents?

I did not wanted them on my employment history hence wanted no such hassle and here we are.
Need some inputs from people who understand these things. HRs or any other folks in the know.

Need advise/help.

Hi folks, I am filing ITR and I find complete mismatch between the IT portal data of FD interest earning, and my Banks’ data. I checked all the forms- Form 26AS, AIS/TIS, traces portal. But none of them match with Banks’ data. What should I do? For one Bank, the interest amount is highly undervalued, and for the other Bank, it seems highly overvalued. Any quick way to find? Which should be considered the definitive record of interest earned?

hey folks do you declare any side/freelancing income information during return filing?  
if your side hustle is over 5L but less than 20L, will you declare or keep it hidden?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I got through the interview process for a few companies for the lead PM role and what I am seeing is that they are asking for previous offer letter/appraisal letter, pay slip for 3months, other documents.


Is it normal for companies to ask for these documents before sharing offer letter...

Is it normal for recruiter to ask for payslip, previous offer letter etc. Before sharing the offer letter?

My company hasn't shared it yet and I hate that they can casually delay things like this

Have you received your Form 16 for FY24?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I had been toiling in my current organization for a good while despite the compensation not being totally fair. Whenever I brought this discussion up with the CEO, he always played the friend card and promised to give me what I deserve once the company raises the next round. He also claimed to have supposedly saved me from the layoffs which was completely in his control in the first place. Now I got a better offer, kind of like a dream offer- one that I well deserve, and have convinced a challenging panel to get. One small concern is that during the initial stages of the application, I lied about how much I was getting paid currently. Now that I actually made it and got the offer, I have to submit the documents. How far are these things taken seriously?

Will payslip verification be taken seriously?

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.

Tax dilemma

Just want to get inputs from those who freelance along with being salaried. I am wondering how people do ITR filing when they’re directly receiving payment from their clients abroad (inward remittance) on their own name (no company created for offering ur service) as well as have their monthly salary ? As much as I’ve read you would be filing ITR-4 but then wouldn’t this reveal to ur current or next employer that u worked 2 places?
Really curious to know as it’s ITR filing time.

Wouldn’t ITR be a mess for salaried employee who also freelances?

Business Analyst

Quite curious about this because my understanding is that government is more watchful about cash credits. So would transactions like someone paying u through Wise/Brex/Paypal and the likes get recorded with expectation of us declaring it as extra income for tax ? I am not talking of inward remittance. Another example is u held some paytm gold for few years but now u sell some of it. Is it ok not to mention any of this while filing ITR? Anyone has some experience do share.

If a credit doesn’t show up in AIS, is it still tracked/recorded for tax?

I have came across few hr's recently who predominantly ask for pan details and other personal details even before acheduling an interview .

I would like to know how valid is this move of asking personal details and sharing it ,that are linked with our financial history is accurate for getting a job.

HR ask for pan details before interview scheduled

Hi, experts 
I was filing itr, so needed help, I started my job from May 2022, but before that I did an internship where I got salary credited to my account , it was around 1500 for one month (March) for this assessment year and also they did deduct a tds of around 300 rupees which I can see on my itr home page . So should I include those amount in my gross income while filing tds ( I have only included my current gross salary) ?

I don't want to reveal about 1 company I had worked for to my new employer, can I hide it? Will they figure it out in the background check?
