What is Form 16?

The certificate your employer gives you each year showing your salary and the tax deducted from it.

Employers must issue Form 16 by 15 June after the financial year. Part A shows TDS deposited; Part B breaks down salary, exemptions and deductions. It is the main document you need to file your return if you are salaried.
