A company need not deduct the short deduction made by earliers employer of the employees.   No penal action will be taken against A company  for the apperant reason that it is not a defaulter in any way.

Employees in whose case short deduction was made by B Company will have to pay the tax u/s 140A.  Those employees need not pay any interest u/s 234B and 234C as held by various high courts for the reason it was the responsiblity of the employer to deduct tax at source from the salary.
