I have changed my company in the FY 2010-11 in the month of July. My current employer is not ready to accept the provisional Form 16 issued by previous employer and adamant on original Form 16 only for consideration of additional income for TDS deduction purposes.
This eventually leads to lower TDS and hence tax penalty during assessment. Is there any way by which the penalty would not arise?

Yes. you are correct, it is employer responsiblity to calculate and deduct proper TDS but this is based on your declaration & proofs submitted by you. as per me provisional form 16 by previous employer is enough for calculate the tax, but your present employer is denying that, finally you only suffer for non payment of tax & interest. so make your employer to accept the form-16 or calculate the differential tax and pay directly
