If the TDS return has been filed, then the Form 16 can be downloaded by the employer from TRACES website with / without digital signature. The downloaded form 16 can then be sent via mail.

If the TDS returns are filed, then you can get the credit of the same in Form 26AS which you can download after logging in to Income Tax Efiling site.

ITR of last 2 years & Form 26AS are enough proof of income that can be submitted to the Bank for loans. Your friend can go ahead with the application with these two documents with other basic documenst. If the Bank still persists for Form 16, than the same can be asked for from the employer. He can also courier the same.
