Salary received from more than one employer – Multiple form16

Last Modified on May 9, 2014 by Editorial Staff

Salary received from more than one employer – Multiple form16 received during the financial yearDuring the financial year, an assessee can be employed simultaneously under more than one employer or can change the employment during the financial year.

In both cases, employee can furnish details of salary due or received by him to either of the employer of his choice. Such company after getting employee’s salary details has to compulsorily deduct TDS after considering such declared income.

Employee has to provide his salary details and TDS deducted from such salary in writing and duly verified by him. It is the responsibility of the employee to provide details his or her organization.

If employee has not disclosed his salary received from previous organization to the present organization then he has to calculate income tax liability in advance and pay self assessment tax to the IT department before the due date.

At the end of the year, Employee will get form 16 from both the employers based on the salary obtained from them and the break up of that in form no 12BA. Form 16 is a certificate issued by employer to employee having all the details of TDS deducted and deposited along with the bank Challan number, date of deposit and BSR code.

Such form 16 and 12BA can be used by the employee in deriving income tax liability for the financial year. After taking out the TDS amount deducted from employee’s salary if any amount left out then such amount has to be compulsorily paid to IT department by the employee before the due date. If such unpaid amount paid after the due date then it has to be paid along with interest as applicable to the assessee.

Most of the time employees do not disclose last employer’s salary to the present employer. In such cases they end up paying penal interest at the end of the year if any income tax liability exists after taking out TDS deducted by both the employers.
