As per section 192(2C), the responsibility of
providing correct and complete particulars of perquisites or profits in lieu of salary given to an employee is
placed on the person responsible for paying such income i.e., the person
responsible for deducting tax at source. The form and manner of such particulars
are prescribed in Rule 26A, Form 12BA (Annexure II) and Form 16 of the Rules. Information relating to the nature and value of perquisites is to be provided
by the employer in Form 12BA in case salary paid or payable is above
Rs.1,50,000/-. In other cases, the information would have to be provided by the
employer in Form 16 itself.
An employer, who has paid the tax on perquisites on behalf of the employee as per the provisions discussed in para 3.2 of this circular, shall furnish to the employee concerned, a certificate to the effect that tax has been paid to the Central Government and specify the amount so paid, the rate at which tax has been paid and certain other particulars in the amended Form 16.
The obligation cast on the employer under Section 192(2C) for furnishing a statement showing the value of perquisites provided to the employee is a crucial responsibility of the employer, which is expected to be discharged in accordance with law and rules of valuation framed there under. Any false information, fabricated documentation or suppression of requisite information will entail consequences thereof provided under the law. The certificates in Forms 16 and/or Form 12BA specified above, shall be furnished to the employee by 31st May of the financial year immediately following the financial year in which the income was paid and tax deducted. If he fails to issue these certificates to the person concerned, as required by section 192(2C), he will be liable to pay, by way of penalty, under section 272A(2)(i), a sum which shall be Rs.100/- for every day during which the failure continues. As per Section 139C of the Act, the Assessing Officer can require the taxpayer to produce Form 12BA alongwith Form 16, as issued by the employer.
