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!!!!!!!!!

The pay slip seems to be authentic.... if u have any further doubt the pay slip.... You can asked the employee his last 3 months bank statement were his salary deposited..... Regards, Vijay


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.

Hi,

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.

Dear All,

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,

Hi, You can call the HR of his previous Company and do a background verification as to what was his last drawn salary, his salary break up etc

Dear all,

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.

Dear All,

It's a fake playslip 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.
