Quick Summary
A taxpayer can file an Income Tax Return even without Form 16. Salary slips, bank statements, Form 26AS, and salary certificates can be used to calculate income and TDS. Form 16 is mainly a tax deduction certificate issued by the employer.

The One Says:

Has employer has deducted TDS? He must have ...... if so why is he not giving you Form 16 it requires just as simple filling of a very straightforward & self explanatory form ...... if he is lazy  ;) fill it up for him then all he needs to do is sign it.

You need to attach the original Form 16 along with you return to prove TDS has been provided for.

In lieu of Form 16 the person shopuld arrange a salary certificate form the employer and on the same basis he can file his return . :P
