Salary from two employers in AIS after a job switch
Updated . Every paid answer is checked by a CA. Free AI answers are labelled until a CA verifies them.
Facts
No. Each employer reports the salary it paid. Both entries are correct and both salaries must be added in your return, with the TDS from each.
Provisions and law
- Sec 285BB (now Sec 510)Annual Information Statement of a taxpayer's reported transactions and taxes
- Sec 192 (now Sec 392)TDS on salary
Analysis
If employer A paid ₹6,00,000 and employer B ₹9,00,000, your salary is ₹15,00,000. Each employer may have given the standard deduction and basic slab, so TDS is often short and you may owe tax. Only one standard deduction is allowed in the return. Do not mark either entry as duplicate.
Conclusion
- Collect Form 16 from both employers
- Add salaries and TDS in the return
- Claim the standard deduction only once
- Pay any balance tax before filing
