Facts
Prefill depends on employers' TDS statements. If the old employer filed late or deducted no TDS, it may not appear. You must add it yourself.
Provisions and law
- Sec 192, Income-tax Act 1961 (now Sec 392)Each employer deducts tax from salary at the average rate based on the salary it pays and the details it has.
Analysis
Leaving out one employer's salary is a serious omission and can lead to a notice and penalty. Add the old employer's details from Form 16 or payslips, even if no TDS was deducted. The total salary should match your records and AIS.
Conclusion
- Check AIS for the old employer's salary.
- Add the employer in the salary schedule.
- Enter Part B figures or payslip totals.
- Recompute tax and pay any balance.
- File and e-verify.
