Rule 31(1)(a) · Certificate u/s 203 IT Act 1961 / s.396 IT Act 2025 · Salary TDS computation · Old & New Regime · FY 2026-27 (AY 2027-28)
The Form 16 Part B Generator creates the salary certificate that employers must issue to employees under Section 203 of the Income Tax Act. Part B contains the detailed salary breakup — basic salary, HRA, allowances, perquisites, deductions under Chapter VI-A (80C, 80D, HRA, etc.) — and the computation of taxable salary and TDS deducted. Employers must issue Form 16 by 15 June of the following financial year.
What is the difference between Form 16 Part A and Part B?
Part A is generated from the TRACES portal and shows quarterly TDS figures from Form 24Q. Part B is prepared by the employer showing detailed salary breakup and tax computation. Both together form the complete Form 16 issued annually.
Is Form 16 mandatory even if no TDS is deducted?
Form 16 is mandatory if the employee's income exceeds the basic exemption limit, even if TDS is nil. Employers must issue Form 16 by 15 June every year.
Can an employee file ITR without Form 16?
Yes. ITR can be filed using salary slips, Form 26AS, and AIS/TIS data. However, Form 16 simplifies the process by providing a ready computation of taxable salary and TDS.
