06 August 2024 A Company claimed deduction u/s 80JJAA in the AY 2023-24 after fulfilling all the conditions specified u/s 80JJAA. In AY 2024-25, the company has hired new employees but total number of employees as on 31.03.2024 is less than that as on 31.03.2023 because many employees have left the company. Whether the company can claim deduction u/s 80JJAA for the second & third year for employees joined in FY 2022-23 & 2021-22 respectively?
Also, for second & third year, for calculating the amount of deduction, whether increment in the salary need to be taken into account or the deduction should be same for all 3 years?
