If you have earned money by moonlighting/ side gig, it will be reflected in your 26AS if TDS is deducted. Co wants to check if you are moonlighting or not.  
 Do not share any details reg 26AS, if they have deducted TDS on salary they are bound to release form16.

Moengage's demand is like asking for your diary before giving your report card. Unusual, isn't it? Seek legal advice. What's your next step?

Product Manager

Does Moengage have a moonlighting allowed policy? If not, then you're possibly in breach of contract.

That's if you do have additional income from moonlighting.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

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.

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

Hi all,

I had joined Mphasis and just only attended virtual on boarding and left the job as they fell back on promise they made. I had not received any salary for that. Just before tax paying date, I received form 16 saying I was paid salary and had to pay tax on that. In reality I never received any money from them. I mailed to HR help desk multiple times, I never received any resolution. What should be my next step.

I have been issued form 16A from mphasis without actually receiving salary.

Digital Marketer

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?

Since I am Done-Zo with Dunzo, AMA anything. Here to spill all the scoop that’s happened.

Hi community, really love the support I get from folks here. Thanks a lot. Here is another thing I need some opinions on.

I did an internship last year and there was some TDS deducted. That was my only source of main income. I checked the Form26AS and yes it was present along with some TDS on my MF investment and all.

Now this is my first time filing ITR, how should I go approach?

Get a CA? If yes, how to contact one? How much do they usually charge?

File by myself?

Or any tips you have would be really appreciated. You can also share your experience. 

Thank you 😊.

Hi Peeps,

Recently came into Income Tax bracket. I work on contractual basis and only TDS is deducted. Where can I get form 16 from?

In my previous organization, the company used to give along with pay slip but in my current one, there is no form 16 attached with payslip.

Please help.

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) ?

Need help for ITR

Computer scientist

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?

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?

CA here. In case anybody has any query regarding Income-tax return filing, can comment below. Will try to help you out as much as possible.

Income- tax Return

I had joined new org in July 2022 last year and had submitted my previous org form16 and salary slips with monthly tax deductions shown in them.
 Now today my tax consultant informed that since I had not submitted form 12b to new employer, the 250000 basic exemption has been counted twice and now I have to pay 30 percent of 250000 ie approx 80000 rupees!!

I don’t understand this as I was under impression that each monthly tax is being deducted and there is now way there can be shortfall in my tax deduction.

Please help me if this correct or incorrect and if it’s mistake on my part any way to reduce penalty.
