dear sir, my gross salary is 3.25 lakhs p.a this includes onsite allowance -rs.75000 (company gives this allowance to meet my exp. during client's visit) but company has included this amt. in form 16 & TDS is deducted for entire 3.25 lakhs now can i deduct this amount from gross salary & try for a refund ? in other words can i go against form 16 issued by a company?

It is NOT advisable to ignore the Form 16 and file for the refund. You can contact your employer ,try to reason why the onsite allowance should not be added and get it corrected.
That said, i believe your employer is correct in including the onsite allowance in your salary since this allowance is for meeting your own expense.
