  1. Hi,

    Yes, you should include both your Form 16s to file your ITR.
    Here are the steps to file ITR with multiple Form-16s.

    1. Collect all your Form-16s
    2. Check TDS with Form 26AS
    3. Combine income and recalculate
    4. Include all Chapter VIA deductions
    5. Pay self-assessment tax, if any.

    Hope this helps :slight_smile:

  2. Hi @Amit_Patnaik,

    You can claim a refund of the taxes paid on salary paid back to the employer while filing ITR. You have to reduce income by the amount you paid back. You should report only the net salary income while filing ITR for AY 2021-22.

    Hope this helps :slightly_smiling_face:

  3. Thanks Divya, for your response!

  4. Hi @abdabhi12

    As per the income tax act, you are required to estimate the total income along with the variable component and pay advance tax accordingly every quarter.

    If you miss out on estimating and paying the advance tax, then interest u/s. 234C shall be levied.

    However, if you pay more tax then actual liability then you can claim refund for the same at the time of filing of your ITR.

    Here’s a read on Section 234C : Advance Tax Penalty - Delay in Payment - Learn by Quicko

    Hope this helps!
