29 December 2019 I have a situation where my previous employer (through Hewitt who handed their payroll) claims that they have deposited the tax against suspense account since they did not have my PAN number. They have given me Form 16 that details the amount paid and challans. However, Income Tax department does not perhaps understand the suspense account concept and neither do I. Is there anything like suspense account? How do I take this case forward? Income tax department insists that amount be paid against my PAN number. But my previous employer has already paid it against the supposedly suspense account.
