15 March 2013 Dear Sir,

I work as a salaried employee with an excise registered proprietorship company. I was issued offer letter with the excise registered company and received salary cheques from its other company which is non-excisable. Till December,2012 there hasn't been any deductions. In January, 2013 an amount of Rs.5,000/- was deducted for TDS.
On March,13,2013 my employer said that he couldnt provide me Form16 as his company is not registered under TAN. He told me to file returns on my own and said that he would refund the amount of Rs.5,000/- deducted for TDS. I was asking Form16 from my employer for the financial year 2012-13.Kindly advise the proceedings to be done in this case.I fall under the salary bracket of around Six Lakhs
Request your feedback at the earliest.

17 March 2013 It is a legal liability of Employers to deduct and pay taxes if your salary is more than basic exemption limit. This way Company is defaulting income tax provisions and they can be penalized for same.

Anyways, you should compute your tax liability and pay taxes thru self-assessment.
