I recently got an advanced retention bonus of lets say 15 lakhs and the retention period for that amount is 2 years.

I have a question lets say the retention bonus was given in sept 2021 and the period will complete in sept 2023, if I leave the company before that time period, i'll have to pay the retention bonus on pro rata basis, table for which is given below and retention bonus was given after deducting the tax.

What I wanted to know is If I leave my organisation on April 2022, I'll have to pay 1125000 rs, but tax was already deducted in the last financial year, so how will the tax be calculated.
