Curious About Past TDS Deductions? How Ex-Employees Can Find Out If Their Employer Deducted TDS in Previous Years

Can an employer force an employee to work for his two firms at the same time while he has an appointment letter for just a single firm?

How can an employee know who was the factory or plant manager of a company in the past few years because they were often changed in very short times?

How can an ex-employee know if his TDS was deducted by his employer in the previous years?

I infer that you are not working in India, and it is also not clear whether you are an employee of an Indian company working abroad. In this context, your query about TDS cannot be answered conclusively.

Employer's Right to Assign Work Across Firms

Regarding the first query, no one can ride two horses simultaneously. Therefore, no employer has the right or prerogative to compel any employee of one of his firms to work in his other firm simultaneously. However, such a practice is in vogue in well-knit group companies, albeit as an informal arrangement occasionally, depending upon the mutuality of confidence between the employer and the particular employee.

Concerns About Management Changes

I am not able to figure out why you, as a subordinate, are bothered about the frequent change of FM or Plant Manager when you are not facing any instructional contradictions.

Employee Exploitation in Multi-Company Employment

The employer, having multiple companies, exploits the rights of their employees. I was working for Desein Private Limited, heading the IT Division. For one of the other companies, The Indure Private Limited, I was handling marketing and the execution of orders for one of its projects, with no extra compensation. Additionally, I was appointed Director (Operations) of its Computer Company, OPG CAD Ltd. I used to work for almost 10 hours a day, with no financial compensation for the extra work. I was even made to work after the retirement age of 60 years, for another 10 years, when I resigned at the age of 70.

In India, such exploitation happens, as despite having laws, no employee would like to resist, else he/she is to lose the job.
