Clarification on form-16

The Employee has submitted all the relevant documents for claiming HRA exemption and investments made under section-80C.

However the Employee is supplied with Form-16 with the following errors:

1.Amount exempted u/s 10 for HRA is shown short in Form-16. Now can i file IT return with corrected figures. If i correct from my side, is that acceptable or should i get i get it corrected from employer before filing return.

The employer is refusing to correct.What is remedy

2. One Investment made u/s 80C is excluded, thereby Form-16 is issued with 80C deductions as Rs.120000 instead of Rs.150000. As the TDS collected is more, can i show my investment in ITR, while filing return.

What is the remedy if employer refuses to issue revised form 16

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses errors on Form 16 regarding HRA exemptions and 80C deductions. The employee has submitted correct documentation but their Form 16 shows incorrect figures. The advice given is that you can file your Income Tax Return (ITR) with the correct figures, provided you have supporting documents like rent receipts and investment proofs. It's also recommended to try and get the employer to issue a revised Form 16, but if they refuse, correcting it in your ITR is acceptable.

You can correct all these in your income tax return also.. You can also ask your employer to correct the same
Hi sir,
no need to worry about that you can file your ITR with correct information but you must keep in mind that you should have a proof that is rented bills for claiming HRA and 80c deductions like premiums receipt, house loan repayment letter Principal proportion etc
