Employer has not supplied form 16 for the period April 2009 to March2010, despite complaints and reminders to concerned HR personnel by email. The matter was escalated to CEO by email and reminders were also sent.
No one has issued any acknowledgment or reply and form 16 was also not supplied. Employee had requested to supply the form 16 by redg/speed post only.
Employee has decided to lodge a complaint with Income Tax authorities.
To whom the complaint should be addressed?
The complaint should be lodged at the location of employee or the location where employer files return?
What are the rules or law if the employer does not supply form 16, to punish the employer? What are the applicable penalties?
Please provide the detailed process to lodge a complaint
