I dont like to sound like this, but I guess you are slowly entering into a deep mess.
If you are in UK on a HSMP, you are supposed to pay taxes just like a normal resident of UK. However, if you were sent on a work-permit from yout TCS, they can work out a different way of paying taxes in UK ( or in some cases, they only pay indian salary and give money here as allowance). But doing such a thing is illegal.
So if your company did'nt pay full taxes ( while they thought you were here on a WP) but you have actually changed to HSMP with out their knowledge, then it is already a mistake. And planning to do the samething again would be another mistake.
First and foremost , you need to do is tell your employer what happened. And next time onwards ( if you intend to travel to UK and work) on a HSMP visa, then you got to make sure you pay taxes just like a normal UK resident.
