As rightly suggested by Mr. Rohit, the contract of appointment, with details of any document/agreement signed by you should be studied.

Okay, my employers are now creating more trouble for me. The said relocation expenses, amounting to approximately Rs. 270,000, have been added to my income in my salary slips and form 16 and presented as taxable income. 

As far as my understanding of income tax laws goes, under section 10(14) of the income tax act, any amount paid for  purposes of relocation, transfer and travel is not taxable in the hands of the employee, to the extent of the actual expenses incurred. As I was never paid this amount, and this amount was (supposedly) paid to various third parties, I do not think I should be liable to pay tax on that amount. 

I hope that the employer will have the sense to amend this, but what course of action do I have in case the employer refuses?
