Indian employees cannot accurately calculate and claim tax deductions on recovered joining bonuses during ITR filing

Indian salaried employees face confusion and potential tax compliance errors when companies recover joining bonuses (often due to early resignation clauses), as they struggle to determine the correct ITR2 form sections to claim these amounts and recover overpaid taxes. Current tax filing guidance and ITR forms lack clear instructions for this specific scenario, forcing employees to either file incorrectly, overpay taxes, or hire expensive CA consultants.
