I received a sum of money (5 lakhs) from my company as a joining bonus during the 2016-17 Financial Year, on the condition that if I leave the company in less than three years, I have to return it. I had to pay tax on this amount as if it were a part of the rest of my income in the Financial Year ending March 2017. I am leaving the company in July 2017 and will be returning this amount. Can I get a refund of the tax I paid on the bonus, by highlighting this while filing my income tax return? What documents do I need apart from Form 16?
