 Previous Employment Earnings

Who is eligible?
Employees who has worked in any other company before joining the current company, within the financial year (April 2018
whose Date of Joining is after 1st April 2018

What is considered Previous Employer Income?

The Income after Sec 10 exemption is considered as Previous Employer Income. This includes all earnings earned till the Da
current financial year (from April 2018 onwards) including perquisites after deducting section 10 exemptions.

Proof to be submitted:
1. Photocopy of Form 16 affixed with seal & signature or Digital Signature or Final Tax computation sheet, from the pre
with a declaration in Form 12B duly signed by the employee.
2. The Income after Sec 10 exemption, Professional Tax / Provident Fund/ VPF and Income tax deducted, will be conside
current employment income, to arrive at net tax liability for the year 2018-2019.
3. Where the previous employer has granted Deduction’s for Investments made, including Housing Loan interest deducti
reported – proofs will have to be re-submitted to the current employer along with the IPSF.

Tax Treatment:
Previous employment income, as per supporting, will be accounted for computing the tax liability for the year. While genera
previous employment details will be removed. This treatment is supported by the below circular from the IT department. Yo
consolidate multiple employment details, while filing your individual returns.
As per circular F.No.SW/09/03/2002-DIT(S)-798 dated 13/4/04 issued by the Directorate of Income Tax (Sys
Section 192(2) of Income Tax Act, 1961 allows an employee who had more than one employer in financial year to furnish d
and TDS from the first employer in Form 12B(supported by relevant proofs) to the second employer for the purpose of dedu
source by the second employer. The relevant provisions required that in such a case, the second employer may deduct tax
rate and enclose Form 12B with his TDS returns. At present, in the TDS return for salary i.e. Form No.24, there is no colum
particulars of salary received/tax deducted by the previous employer. Previously, the deductors used to furnish these detail
TDS return. However, this cannot be done in electronic TDS return, as data structure does not support provision of any foot
referred to the CBDT. The CBDT has clarified that such problems can be resolved as under;

In cases of employees with more than one employer in a financial year, the deductor need to disclose only the salary paid
in the Form 24 being filed by him. In case this amounts to deduction at a lower rate, then he can mention the words "12B'
of Form 24; and

Enclose Form 12B along with Form 27A, which the deductor is required to file along with his e-TDS return.

The circular clearly states that only current employer’s income and tax details should be shown in Form 24. Since Form 24 i
Form 16s issued, Form 16 will display only the current employer’s income and tax. However, while computing the tax liabili
previous employment income and tax will be accounted for. The same practice was followed since FY 2005-06.

Following will be disallowed:

1) Only Form 12B submitted will not be considered 3) Tax computation with projections will not be considered
2) Only payslips will not be considered 4) Tax computations of the current year only will be considered
5) Previous years Tax computations will not be considered

Pension Funds – Section 80CCC: This section – Sec 80CCC –

stipulates that an investment in pension funds is eligible for
deduction from your income. Section 80CCC investment
limit is clubbed with the limit of Section 80C – it maeans
that the total deduction available for 80CCC and 80C is Rs.
1.5 Lakh.This also means that your investment in pension
funds upto Rs. 1.5 Lakh can be claimed as deduction u/s
80CCC. However, as mentioned earlier, the total deduction
u/s 80C and 80CCC can not exceed Rs. 1.5 Lakh.

automatically deducted from your salary. Both you and your
employer contribute to it. While employer’s contribution is
exempt from tax, your contribution (i.e., employee’s
contribution) is counted towards section 80C investments.
You also have the option to contribute additional amounts
through voluntary contributions (VPF). Current rate of
interest is 8.5% per annum (p.a.) and is tax-free.

Life Insurance Premiums: Any amount that you pay towards

life insurance premium for yourself, your spouse or your
children can also be included in Section 80C deduction.
Please note that life insurance premium paid by you for your
parents (father / mother / both) or your in-laws is not
eligible for deduction under section 80C. If you are paying
premium for more than one insurance policy, all the
premiums can be included. It is not necessary to have the
insurance policy from Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) –
even insurance bought from private players can be
considered here.

his own name or in the name of minor of whom he is the
guardian. One can get the deduction u/s 80c, deposit in his
own account, or his/her spouse or in the account of his /her
children.

2. Public Provident Fund (PPF): Among all the assured

returns small saving schemes, Public Provident Fund (PPF) is
one of the best. Current rate of interest is 8% tax-free and
the normal maturity period is 15 years. Minimum amount of
contribution is Rs 500 and maximum is Rs 1,50,000. A point
worth noting is that interest rate is assured but not fixed.

National Savings Certificate (NSC): National Savings

Certificate (NSC) is a 6-Yr small savings instrument eligible
for section 80C tax benefit. Rate of interest is eight per cent
compounded half-yearly, i.e., the effective annual rate of
interest is 8.16%. If you invest Rs 1,000, it becomes Rs
1601 after six years. The interest accrued every year is
liable to tax (i.e., to be included in your taxable income) but
the interest is also deemed to be reinvested and thus
eligible for section 80C deduction.

Infrastructure Bonds: These are also popularly called Infra

Bonds. These are issued by infrastructure companies, and
not the government. The amount that you invest in these
bonds can also be included in Sec 80C deductions.

1. Only amount mentioned as ‘Tuition Fee’ in the fee receipt

entitled for section 80C deduction.

addition to section 80C list, Senior Citizen Savings Scheme
(SCSS) is the most lucrative scheme among all the small
savings schemes but is meant only for senior citizens.
Current rate of interest is 9% per annum payable quarterly.
Please note that the interest is payable quarterly instead of
compounded quarterly. Thus, unclaimed interest on these
deposits won’t earn any further interest. Interest income is
chargeable to tax.

5-Yr post office time deposit (POTD) scheme: POTDs are

similar to bank fixed deposits. Although available for varying
time duration like one year, two year, three year and five
year, only 5-Yr post-office time deposit (POTD) – which
currently offers 7.5 per cent rate of interest –qualifies for
tax saving under section 80C. Effective rate works out to be
7.71% per annum (p.a.) as the rate of interest is
compounded quarterly but paid annually. The Interest is
entirely taxable.

the year of purchase of the house.

Installment (EMI) that you pay every month to repay your
home loan consists of two components – Principal and
Interest.The principal component of the EMI qualifies for
deduction under Sec 80C. Even the interest component can
save you significant income tax – but that would be under

(IT) Benefits of a Home Loan / Housing Loan / Mortgage”,
which presents a full analysis of how you can save income
