situation :

On 31st march 2010 employee left the job with one month notice period ( i.e. employee worked for 12 months including with 1 month notice period). Therfore, employee have to pay to his employer the compensation for two months notice pay salary.

Dear Vishal,

Since employee worked with his 1st employer till 31.03.2010 so for FY 2009-10, his salary till march will be taxable.

The compensation payable/paid will not be allowed as deduction.

Fy 2010-11

Salary as well as the Reimbursement of compensation received from his new employer will be taxable as perquisite..BUT HERE ALSO NO DEDUCTION WILL BE ALLOWED IN THIS CASE ON ACCOUNT OF PAYMENT OF COMPENSATION.

Is there any change for AY 2020-21, for the same situation. Can I get relief from double taxation.
