Mr Amit Ghosh is right. Since the information is to be given from TDS Certificates and TDS certificates except form 16 towards TDS from salary is received by the deductees quarterly the information should, preferably, be given  quarterly. However, since the credit is to be given by the department after tallying with form 26AS and TDS Certificate number is not mandatory to be given, there should not be any difference in case the information in respect of a single deductee is given consolidated for the whole year.

Yes, in case you are sure about the particulars being displayed in form 26AS you can fill the same in ITR without having form 16-A. In case of scrutiny assessment the ITO may ask for original form 16-A for which also evident to the satisfaction of ITO may be given.

	TDS certificate no. is a unique 6 charcter number; whereas TDS receipt number is a unique 8 character number. During the e-filing process of   ITR, in the section on TDS against 16A, the software expects you to feed unique 8 character TDS Certificate number. [which obviously is wrong]. My question is "which TDS number[6 character certificate no. or 8 character receipt no. ] should be mentioned in TDS details other than salary [Form 16A], while e-filing ITR

Hi friends, just add two zeros in front of the six digit tds certificate no (you can find this in the top right corner of the certificate) and generate the xml file and upload it in the site... It is the only working solution until the IT department corrects it...
