Tax dilemma

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.

1. Ask the Company to either pay your salary or reverse the income in Form 26AS (Yes, they can do it by revising ETDS returns). 2. There is a possibility that they would have shown this as salary payable in their account 3. One more remote possibility is some insider might have updated their bank a/c details in your name and would have taken salary fraudulently. All the 3 of above is possible. So send a mail to Company with a screenshot of your 26AS and your resignation mail trail to proper authority level in the Company. Also in your Form AIS there is an option to give a remark that the reported salary does not belong to you. Then you can file your ITR without that salary. However, as of now the department is not considering these remarks and automated notices are getting generated for difference between income in your AIS/26AS and ITR.

Is there a possibility to explain the same to ITR incase they raise a notice? What all proofs would I need? Currently I'm banking on the company reversing the payment but incase they don't do it within the late filing timelines I'll be forced to file with a remark.

The only way to prove that you have not received any salary is the passbooks of your banks. There may also a chance that Company has opened a bank accounted on your behalf and deposited salary. These are wild guesses, unless Company clarifies you wont know. For notices I think you can share your offer letter and copy of resignation along with your bank statements. It all depends on the officer handling your case in case of notice.

Tax penalty on switching job, I am shocked flabbergasted!

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.

Received ITR with outstanding demand

Finally processed my ITR after multiple follow ups, and they have shared difference amount Let's say Tax I calculated was Rs X Tax Govt calculated Rs Y I agree with Y, and Y minus X = Rs 2660. No problem paying that But, the demand says payable amount is Rs Y But I have already paid Rs X. Why haven't they considered that? I should be paying the difference now. What to do in this situation? Have you faced similar situation?

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

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.

Taxation headache on switching companies

I recently switched companies and had to refund the bonus component I received last FY to my previous company. Now that I've refunded it, is there any way to show my yearly salary as "Total salary - refunded amount" while filing for taxes for this FY next year? If so, how and what proofs are needed?

Need advise/help.

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.
