Tax

Form 16

Form 16 is the annual TDS certificate an employer gives each employee by 15 June, showing salary paid and tax deducted, used to file the income tax return.

Part A, downloaded from TRACES, shows quarterly TDS deposited against the employee's PAN. Part B, prepared by the employer, shows the salary breakup, exemptions, deductions and tax computation.

An employee who changed jobs receives one from each employer.

In Indian payroll

Part B should be generated from the same payroll data that produced the 24Q, so the two never disagree. Employees file returns by 31 July.
