Doubt in head 'salary'.. experts please help!!

607 views 2 replies

Dear All,

If any employee has to leave his current employment and there is notice period of 3 months. As per the terms of employment, if he contravenes the notice period then he has to pay salary of 3 months.... Now, as we know the FORM - 16 is given by the Employer, so we cannot override the same since its the only document of proof of Employment for the relevant period.

Now, my doubt is whether the We can claim it as deduction in that year (despite of the fact it being breach of contract).?? Please support the same by valid reason or any court or tribunal decision??

 

Regards,

Salary paid by the outgoing employee to the employer company for compliance of TCs of the employment contract in lieu of notice period is not available as a deduction under the head salaries or any other head of income in the hands of the employee.

Regards,

Hi, since it is one sort of recovery from employee for contravening employment terms, it can not be set off against income accrued. Sine it is in form recovery post accrual adjustment in form 16 also can not be made moreover TDS has to be deducted for served notice period.

Thanks!!
