Hi,

Is it possible that the tax amount shown in employee’s Form 16 can be more that actual value? Like getting more taxed than needed.  
What is the best way to correct it?

If you have missed on mentioning certain tax savings in Form 16 (happens often), it is possible that in Form 16, your tax is computed more than your true liability. It is better to check through all the available saving options and gives a lot of importance to reduce tax while filing ITR.
