Form-16 not found online, company not responding either.

There is a case, I need inputs from the board. Case of my Friend: Shrikanth.

Shrikanth is working with an Proprietorship company in Mumbai. His Package is around 30000 per month + 30000 bonus (rec on. diwali)

The company calculates and deducts tax from his salary at the end of the financial year.

Its been 4 years now, the company havent issued him the Form 16 against those deductions from the salary. 

Please advice, what should be done.?

On my advice, he registered his PAN with https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/ to check if forms are seen online. Suprisingly, only recent years tax (FY 2013-14) is visible that correctly shows the amount. When checked of previous years, nothing is shown there.

Is it that the company have not paid the tax to government.?

In this case what shall be done.?

Also, when a company issues Form-16 against salary deductions; the format is different and detailed (incl. of salaries and other income and investment details mentioned there in), but what we got online its just a two liner that shows the deduction amount and the employer. Is it fine.?

When he trys to discuss this with the Accounts Manager or his Boss, they try to avoid the discussions.

Hello.

Form 16 is available from TRACES for TDS Credit. Any other Form 16 is not consider valid other than this. So if no amount is shown in your TAX Credit Statement, then it is possible that co. is not filed tds return for the same or give wrong details in statement.

My friend have left the company a few months back.

The manager and the Proprietor both are not at all comming up to discuss on this, and avoiding him.

If the company havent paid the tax to the government, can any leagal action be taken. 

Has your friend filed ITR for the previous years? Did he receive any salary slip from this company.
 

Had your frnd filed ITR for previous years ?? Has he received any demands ??

Does your frnd have any signed stamped document showing the amount of TDS deducted ?? Like salary slip or so.
