Hi guys, can you please verify the genuineness of this payslip (file attached)? If you find any inconsistencies, please point them out. I personally think that the supplementary allowance looks a little inflated, but I could be wrong.

Thanks in advance.

From my personal experience in my previous organization, Mphasis (an HP company), I can say that such bizarre payslips exist. I had a basic salary of Rs 3000. My Special Allowance (this was a fixed amount every month, not variable) was Rs 35000 (approx). My Special Allowance was 10 times my basic!

Exactly it depends on which state is he working in. The Professional Tax varies within different states.

Exactly, it's the basics that look fishy. The slip does not contain a digital or other signature or declaration that it's printed and does not require a signature. It looks a little fishy. Asking for a bank statement is the best idea.

You can cross-check the genuineness of the salary slip with the HR of the concerned employer. They will verify whether it is genuine or not. Secondly, you can ask for the account statement of the candidate.

The attached payslip is a fake slip because the employee joined in the month of September 2011, and the "YTD" (Year Till Date) is showing only one month (October) of earning details. The YTD should display the total earnings for September and October. If you have any queries, please let me know.

Thanks,

As mentioned by Brijesh, the YTD is not correctly shown. He joined in September, and the same is not added in the YTD. Please verify the PT amount applicable in West Bengal for this salary range. When he is drawing a salary of Rs. 30,000+ in the payslip, the same will come under INCOME TAX. However, either the current employer has not considered his previous employment income, or there is a mistake in the salary calculation. If the earnings from the previous employer are considered, there should definitely be an INCOME TAX deduction.

Basic salary and other components may vary from company to company, so we cannot come to any definitive conclusion. You can ask for the original appointment letter and verify its correctness. Otherwise, it is difficult to come to any conclusion.

Reasons Why It's a Fake Payslip

It's a fake payslip because:

1. There is no income tax deduction.
2. All the earnings and deduction items are printed in capital letters, whereas 'statutory bonus' is mentioned in small letters.

Normally, reimbursements are not depicted on Payslips. Here, medi. reimbursements and conveyance (more than 800) are mentioned. HRA is more than 50% of basic which is not permitted. Pon

If it seems fake to you due to the basic and supplementary allowance, I have attached the salary details of the same company in Maharashtra, which show the same difference between basic and supplementary allowance. I hope this will clear your doubt.

Thank you.

In the salary Slip there is variation in Medical Allowance i think I. tax maximum exemption is Rs.15,000/- PA and his salary slip medical allowance shown higher side..... Regards, Vijay

It is a fake payslip for sure. The first thing is that the conveyance amount is restricted to Rs. 800 per month. Even if a higher amount is paid, it should not be shown on the payslip. Secondly, the medical amount should be Rs. 15,000 per year, but it exceeds that here. Thirdly, bonus details are never provided on a payslip but are usually mentioned in the breakup summary.

Therefore, I strongly believe this is a fake payslip.

It should be taken as genuine since the position is of "Business Development Manager" in an Insurance Company. On sales (new policies), the Business Development Manager has various benefits upon achieving the target of acquiring policies. It is common in Insurance Companies for there to be by-laws or benefits offered to sales/field staff, including department-wise incentives. This may not be applicable to the office/clerical staff who are compensated based on different incentives, and it can also vary. I do not think that this so-called supplementary allowance is general to all employees of a company. However, the basis of the "slip" is not to assess the person but his income tax matters.

There is a major chance that attached payslip is fake coz it does not contain a PF No,ESI No. Bonus even if calculated statutorily cannot come to the amount as specified. Thanks Abhaydada
