Issuance of Form-16

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses the complexities of issuing Form 16 for the financial year 2021-22 when a company has multiple branches and TDS was initially deposited under a single TAN. The core issue is how to correctly issue Form 16 for employees whose TDS was deposited under the Mumbai TAN, even if they belong to the Hyderabad branch. The advice suggests filing the TDS return with the Mumbai TAN and then issuing two separate Form 16s for Hyderabad employees via the TRACES portal. However, the company-provided Part B of Form 16 should only reflect the Hyderabad unit's details.

12 May 2022 All employees TDS have been deposited at Mumbai TAN even for Hyd employees also after that they bifurcated to correct branches.
Hence file TDS return all employees with Mumbai TAN and issue single form 16.

12 May 2022 You have to give 2 Form 16 to each employee of Hyderabad generated from the traces portal.

However, when you give Part B made in-house by the company, only provide 1 part B of Form 16 with details of the Hyderabad unit.
