11 April 2010 Tax has to be calculated considering salary earned in previous company and tax deducted thereon, but it is not required to include that income in the current Form 16

11 April 2010 No need to add the income. Only the tax paid has to be considered.

The employee will fill her income tax return on the basis of both the Form 16.
