Salary is due. So it has to be taxed whether recieved or not recieved in future. Salary not recieved by employee from his employer because of insolvency will not affect tax treatment.

hi neha,
salary becomes taxable on due or receipt basis whichever is earlier. during march, employer-employee relationship existed. hence it is taxable

Mr. Karmakar,
Your query is not very clear. Kindly elaborate
Factually, Tax is required to be paid on the amount of salary shown in Form 16 issued by the employer, whether it is actually received or not.
So in your case if the employee has taken leave without pay for a period of 3 months it will surely not be depicted in Form 16 and therefore the same will not be considered for taxability.

I shall be grateful if anybody clarify how an employee will pay tax if his employer do not draw the employee's salary for months together say for 3 or more month due to any reason say due to some spell of unauthprised leave etc. Is the said employee is liable to pay tax based on calculation of 12 months salaries although he is not in receipt of 3 or 4 months salaries? Where from he will pay such additional Income Tax for salary not drawn by his employer? --S.KARMAKAR, KOLKATA |

If salary has become due, only then it will be taxable. Salary received or not received will not make any difference in tax computation. Whatever salary has become due is to be disclosed by employer in Form - 16.

Now, my que is if employee leave the job at the end of the month. Means he work for a month. And if he continue his job he will receive his salary . Now, when he leave his job, his employer forfeit hs salary. What an employee will do when he is filling his returm. His income is below taxable limit. he has not received form 16.
Whether include salary of particular month in his assessable or not.
Pls reply
