Facts
If you left out salary from one employer for an older year, an updated return is the way to add it. For AY 2026-27, a revised return is cheaper.
Provisions and law
- Sec 139(8A), Income-tax Act 1961 (now Sec 263(6), Income-tax Act 2025)Updated return within 48 months from the end of the relevant assessment year, once per year, not to reduce tax or raise a refund.
- Sec 192, Income-tax Act 1961 (now Sec 392, Income-tax Act 2025)Employer deducts TDS on salary.
Analysis
Two employers often each give the basic exemption and standard deduction, so tax is under-deducted. Combine both salaries, allow one standard deduction, and compute tax. Claim TDS from both. Pay the shortfall with additional tax and file.
Conclusion
- Get both Form 16s for that year.
- Combine salaries and compute tax.
- Claim TDS from both employers.
- Pay and file ITR-U.
