My employer has shown lesser salary in form 16 compared to salary credited in account. When checked I found this is case with all employees in the organisation. Is this good practice?

Dear Friend,
When it comes to the employer's actions, let him do whatever he wants. You should be concerned with the salary you have in hand - is it as per your offer letter or not? That's it.
If he is showing a lower salary in Form No. 16, it's good for you. Whenever you switch jobs, don't show your Form 16.

As rightly mentioned by Gupta, few allowances are non-taxable which may not reflect in Form 16. There is a working for all Form 16 issued. You can claim it and discuss with accounts personnel or a Chartered Accountant to have clarity on the said subject.

You should ask to your organisation to understand from 16 to you and realise them that you know everything then they don’t do this with anybody.

You should ask your employer about the reason for the difference. In all probability, it will be due to the amounts that are exempted from tax as per law.
