24 July 2014 Dear Tax Experts,

I have 2 queries regarding from 16A from TRACES and Form 26AS

Query 1.
My Gross Salary is 35K PM. i have home loan and Insurance, hence i have made declaration and no TDS has been deducted by my Employer.

They have provided me Manual Form 16 (A+B)

When i have asked them to provide form 16A from TRACES with unique certificate no and national logo on it. they have denied told that since we have not deducted any TDS hence will not be able to provide you FORM 16A from TRACES. and will be able to provide you only when we deduct TDS.

Please let me know if my employer is correct, since as per CBDT its mandatory for all deductor to provide form 16A from TRACES and part B as manual and then combine both and put digital signature.

2. Form 26AS

I have checked my 26AS for A.Y 2014-2015 (F.Y 2013-2014) there is no data reflecting in it. i have asked them for clarification, they have told that data will reflect in FORM 26AS if we have deducted any TDS from your salary, since we have not deducted any TDS no data will be reflected in FORM26AS.

Please guide me with both queries and let me know whether my employer is correct or misguiding me.

25 July 2014 well this is because the employer has not filed the TDS return properly.

however, given that he has not provided your details in the TDS return, form 16 cannot be generated now
