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.

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.

Yes every person can file its return of income. Form 16 as per I T Act has to be issued only when some one has the taxable inocme. Fo9r 16 is a certificate. For NIL a certificate can not be issued. 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

Yes. A person can e-file an online income tax return (ITR) even if Form 16 is not furnished by the employer.

Formalities:

Display income accurately under the head of salary
Claim income tax deductions and exemptions, if appropriate
E-file the online return and verify it within the specified time
Using salary slips, bank statements, and the 26AS Form to calculate salary and TDS

By using the help of Gen IT software, you can easily e-file online ITR without hassle-free filing and with accurate results.
