27 July 2025 Sure! Here’s a simple explanation on **TDS Certificate (Form 16A)** and how to generate it:

---

### What is a TDS Certificate (Form 16A)?

* **Form 16A** is a certificate issued by the **deductor** (the person/company deducting TDS) to the **deductee** (the person from whose payment TDS is deducted).
* It certifies the amount of TDS deducted and deposited with the government.
* It is issued for **TDS deducted on payments other than salary** (e.g., payments to contractors, professionals, rent, commission, etc.).
* **Form 16** is for TDS on salary, Form 16A is for non-salary TDS.

---

### Who issues the TDS Certificate?

* The **deductor** who deducts and deposits TDS is responsible to issue the certificate to the deductee.
* The certificate is usually issued **quarterly**, after filing the TDS return for the quarter.

---

### How to generate Form 16A (TDS Certificate)?

1. **File your TDS return for the quarter** using the official TDS return filing software (RPU/FVU) from the TIN NSDL website:
[www.tin-nsdl.com](https://www.tin-nsdl.com)

2. After filing the return and the TDS payment is accepted by the Income Tax Department, you can **download Form 16A** from the TIN NSDL portal:
Go to: **[https://www.tin-nsdl.com/](https://www.tin-nsdl.com/) > TDS Reconciliation Analysis and Correction Enabling System (TRACES)**

3. **Steps on TRACES portal to download Form 16A:**

* Register/Login as a Deductor.
* Go to “Download” tab and select “Form 16A”.
* Enter details like TAN, PAN, financial year, quarter, etc.
* Download the certificate in PDF format.

4. Provide the downloaded Form 16A to your deductees as proof of tax deducted and deposited.
