Issue in form16 TDS credit of our employess
This query is : Resolved
16 September 2025
Dear Experts,
We filed the revised TDS return (Form 24Q) for F.Y. 2024-25 with proper support and compliance. However, we are facing the below issue:
Our employees have not received credit for the TDS in Part A of Form 16.
While the tax payable and the gift card amount under the Perquisites head have been correctly updated for all employees in Part B, the non-reflection of TDS credit in Part A has resulted in increased tax liability by the amount of TDS on the gift card portion.
Please note that we had duly added the challan in the revised statement and also reported the deduction details against that particular challan while filing the revised return.
👉 Issue Summary:
Challan paid and reported in revised return.
Deduction details linked against challan.
Part B updated correctly (tax + perquisites).
But Part A is not showing the TDS credit, leading to mismatch.
We request guidance from experts on:
Why this TDS credit has not been updated in Part A of Form 16 for employees even after revised return filing?
What exact steps should we take to resolve this issue?

Main Reasons for Missing TDS Credit in Part A
PAN Mismatch or Deduction Mapping Error: If the PAN entered for the employee in the deduction record is wrong, mismatched, or not linked/mapped against the correct challan, the TDS credit will not appear in Part A (which is auto-populated from the government TDS database).
Incorrect Deduction Date or Quarter: If the TDS is mapped to the wrong quarter/deduction date in the revised return, the system may not carry it into the correct period in Part A.
Delay or Error in Updating Records on TRACES: Sometimes, despite correct revised filings, it takes time for changes to propagate, or technical processing issues occur at the backend.

Steps to Resolve the TDS Credit Issue
Verify PAN, Deduction Details, and Challan Mapping:
Check the revised Form 24Q statement for correct PAN, TDS amount, deduction date, and challan number for all entries related to the gift card perquisite.
Ensure deduction dates and amounts in the revised form match those in the actual challan used for payment.
Confirm Credit in Form 26AS:
Advise affected employees to check if the TDS amounts are appearing in their Form 26AS (this is what Part A of Form 16 pulls from).
If not present, it almost always means a mapping/data issue in the revised TDS return and NOT an issue with the employee's tax return or the challan payment itself.
File a Correction Statement Again if Needed:
If mapping errors or data mistakes are detected, file another correction (revised) statement in Form 24Q after rectifying the issues. Use 'Request for Correction' service on the TRACES portal for these corrections.
After processing, check whether TDS reflects in both Form 26AS and Part A of Form 16 for the concerned employees.
Escalate to TRACES Helpdesk:
If all data appears correct in your records and in the challan, but Part A is still not updated even after significant time (e.g., a week after revised filing), raise a ticket on the TRACES portal or use the Helpdesk for technical escalation.

Part A of Form 16 is auto-generated from TRACES. The employer cannot manually edit it; all credits depend strictly on what is available against the employee PAN on the government portal.
If the error persists and the tax return due date is at risk, employees can attach Form 16 and payroll evidence along with a grievance on the e-filing portal, explaining the issue and requesting manual intervention, though such cases are rare.
The non-reflection is almost always due to a data entry, mapping, or PAN/challan linking error in the TDS return, even if Part B looks correct. Re-review and correct the mapping, file a corrected return, and ensure Form 26AS reflects the correct TDS. If all else fails, escalate via TRACES helpdesk for a backend review.
