  • Find the exact tax deducted

The second step is to check a number of TDS deducted by the employer in the previous financial year. You have to check that amount with form 26 AS. If the amount that is deducted by the employer is same as mentioned in the form then you need not worry. But if both the amount don't match with each other i.e. the amount of TDS employer deducted and the amount which is mentioned in the form then you need to discuss it with your employer.

  • House rent allowance

All the employees who are living on rent are entitled to receive house rent allowance from its employer. For receiving it employee needs to show its rent receipts to the employer and can claim HRA.

  • Claim your deductions

There is various investment which is tax deductible. Under section 80C you have to calculate the amount of deduction such as EPF etc. While the employee is claiming a deduction for provident fund, make sure that he claims only his contribution, not of employers.

  • Income from other sources

If an employee is earning any other income from any other source such as interest on fixed deposit he must add that income also in taxable income.

  • Pay additional tax

If the amount of tax paid by the employee is less than what is mentioned in form 26 AS then the employee must pay the relevant amount of additional tax to the appropriate authority.

  • File tax return
