Dear friends and seniors,
I worked for a company in BTM Bangalore from June 2014 to December 2014 for 6 months. I received a salary of 23k in hand. For the next 6 months, from January 2015 to June 2015, I received a salary of 24k in hand. In July and August 2015, I received a salary of 28k. My last working day was September 30, 2015.
Now, while paying my salary, the employer is discussing tax deductions and mentioned that it's more than 28k. They are now delaying payment and trying to avoid giving me my September 2015 salary. They are speaking to me rudely and harassing me, stating that I need to submit documents such as a rental agreement and any insurance I may have to receive my salary.
Could anyone please suggest what I should do in this situation? I do not have these documents, and during my joining, they only mentioned a 200 pt deduction, nothing more. They are now accusing me of only requesting not to deduct tax when I had actually asked not to opt for PF.
How can I ensure I receive my full salary without any so-called tax deductions?
Thank you.

Please work out your income financial year-wise from 1 Apr 14 to 31 Mar 15. What was your total income? Then look at the income tax slab applicable for your salary level. You can calculate your tax after taking into account any tax-deductible savings like EPF, life/health insurance, etc.

Your employer can't unrealistically deduct salary in the name of tax deduction. Take computation of income and your liability to pay tax with the CA you are consulting. Post consultation with CA, resolve the matter with your employer.

Thank you, Mr. bmktts, for your valuable response. I am really thankful that you have provided me with a brief overview of the salary breakdown. As it is a startup company, they have never provided a breakdown of the salary, citing various reasons. I have requested them for my detailed salary breakdown and tax statement. However, to date, they have only mentioned that they will email me the statement but have not done so. It is clear to me that they are reluctant to pay me, but now I am also seeking assistance from a Chartered Accountant.

For the salary of Rs. 28,000/-, there won't be any tax even if there are no breakups. You can demand that for my earnings there won't be any TDS. Only if your taxable income is exceeding Rs. 2,50,000/- per annum, then only should they consider TDS, and they have to work out how much to deduct.
