28 July 2009Dear All,
My employer has not paid me my full salary but he has included the full amount as paid in my Form 16 A. Due to which I have additional tax payable on the income which I haven't received. My employer has no intention of paying the remaining salary.
Please advise me on how can I present this in my income tax return and avoid unfair additional tax. Please also advise me on what can I do against the employer. Thank You.

Mr. Abhishek
If he is issuing you Form 16A, then it must not be Salary Income but i believe, he is paying you Professional receipts or he must be treating it as Professional receipts. Is it so? Because for Salary Income, it is Form 16, not Form 16A.

Dear Abhishek,
There are various deductions from salary also. If you have bymistakely typed Form no. 16A in stead of Form no. 16. The amount must have been paid to you during the year by your employer or must have been paid by now. If you have received Form No. 16A then the company had paid you professional fees and not salary.

Dear Aditya,
I am sorry. It was form 16 I have received. The employer has refused to pay the remaining amount which is due. However, he has put the full salary amount in my form 16. Now, as per the form 16, I am supposed to pay tax on the salary which is not paid to me.
I require your advice on how can I reflect the unpaid salary in my IT returns. Secondly, what steps can I take to claim my salary.
