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

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.

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.

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?

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.
