Hi guys,
Can you please verify the genuineness of this pay-slip (file attached).
If you find any incongruencies, 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 bizzare payslips exist. I had a basic salary of Rs3000, 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 its the basic that looks fishy.
the lip does not contains digital or other signature or declaration that its printed and does not require signature. Looks a little fishy. Asking for bank statement is the best idea

Hi,
You can cross check the genuiness of the salary slip from the HR of concerned employer. They will verify it whether its genuine or not.
Secondly, you can ask for the account statement of the candidate.

Dear All,
Attached payslip is fake slip because he has joined in the month of Sep 11 and in "YTD" (Year Till Date) is showing only one month (oct) earning details. there (YTD) should be shown total earning (Sep + Oct).
If you have any query pls let me know.
Thanks,

Dear all
As said by Brijesh the YTD is not correctly shown. He joined in Sept and the same is not added in the YTD. You also verify the PT amount applicable at WEST BENGAL for this salary range.
Then when he is drawing a salary of Rs.30000+ in payslip the same will come under INCOME TAX. But either the current employer has not considered his previous employment income or there is a mistake in the salary. If the earnings of the previous employer is consdiered definitly there should be a INCOME TAX Deduction
Basic salary and other components may vary from company to company . So we cannot come to any conclusion.
You can ask for the appointment letter original and verify the correctness. Otherwise it is difficult to come to any conclusion.

Dear All
Its a fake playslip,because
1.There is no Income Tax Deduction
2.All the earnings & deduction items are printed in capital letters where as 'statutory Bonus' is mentioned in small letters.
