Amount paid back to the employer is not reflected in Form 26AS
This query is : Resolved
07 July 2022
Hi,
When I left my previous employer, I had to pay net amount back to the employer in the last month as part of the FnF settlement due to return of bonus amount and some TDS. Now, the amount that I paid back to the employer is not reflected in the Form 26AS. For the last month of my employment with the company, 26AS only reflects the TDS amount in the 'Amount paid/credited' due to which my gross salary is inflated as per 26AS.
The same issue is present in Form 16A. The Form 16B however shows the correct gross salary, so there is also a mismatch between 16A and 16B.
However, since I paid back the net amount, I think there should be a negative entry appearing in the 26AS for that particular month to reflect the correct gross salary.
I asked my previous employer to rectify the error in my 26AS and Form 16A, they said that they only show positive gross earnings and tax deducted in the 26AS and negative earnings(amount paid back) will not reflect. They have asked me to fill the ITR using Form 16B.
I want to confirm if whatever is being told to me is correct or not and if it's the responsisbilty of the employer to correct the 26AS by adding a negative entry in it? I'm concerened because even if Form-16B reflects correct gross salary, there will stillbe a mismatch between 26AS and the total salary in ITR. Kindly help and suggest, what should I do.
Thanks!

File ITR based on 16b ignore 26AS.
File ITR based on 16b ignore 26AS.

Thanks will do the same. However, if in future if I receive an intimation due to mismatch between 26AS and 16-partB. In that case what should I do?
