Hi All,

I am Santrupta Mishra. I worked at IBM from Nov 2011 to Nov 2014. Had to switch because they had not been paying the Variable component after giving excuses every year and got a 1.25% hike after getting 2+ rating and my manager was making me work at least 14 hours every day without giving me any additonal help even though I was a 7A. My exit was smooth, completed 90 days of notice period. The FFS was completed and I got all my certificates as well. Then started the nightmare. I had travelled onsite from 1-JUL-2012 to 30-APR-2013 to South Africa. IBM has this "Tax Equalization" policy where they claim to pay your taxes abroad and take away all your refunds for India Tax filing. Seems like they made a mistake in filing the tax return for 2013-14. They kept harassing me for doing this and that, going to this site and that, completing this action and that. Even though it was irritating, I complied. Still, there is total disconnect in their tax compliance team. One person will say you are compliant and another will send you an email about the penalties you need to pay because you are non-compliant, FROM THE SAME EMAIL ADDRESS. 2 years now, Still being harassed, I want to know if we can initiate legal action against them.
