Even then you need to file TDS return for the employee, stating the details with no TDs deduction.

Then you can download his form 16 too.

I wish to copy the answer here... as follows.....

A Form 16 comprises 2 parts – Part A (downloaded from the TRACES site) and Part B (prepared by the organization issuing Form 16). Any organization can create Part B. However, for Part A to be available on the TRACES site, an organization has to include the employee record (including zero tax employees) in Annexure II of the fourth quarter (Jan – Mar) Form 24Q. You would be aware that Part A also contains information on salary paid to an employee and the tax deducted from an employee’s salary for each of the 4 quarters. Hence, for the salary and tax figures to appear in Part A, the employee record should also feature in Annexure I of Form 24Q. In fact, the employee record need not feature in Annexure I in Form 24Q of all quarters. Please note that if the employee record features in Annexure I of only one Form 24Q and Annexure II of the fourth quarter of Form 24Q, his Part A will be available for download on the TRACES site. Just that the fields (in Part A) pertaining to salary and tax amounts for the quarters in which the employee record is not included in Annexure I will be shown as blanks.

Once Part A is downloaded from the TRACES site, the organization can create Form B, and issue the signed Form 16 to a zero tax employee. Courtesy:: www.hinote.in

It is optional to record employees salary in form 24Q if no TDS deduction in all four quarters as per my understanding

If salary of the employee exceeds basic exemption limit, (2,50,000) then as per section 139(1)of the Income tax act , it is mandatory to file Income tax return, weather TDS deducted or not , for that purpose you have to issue from 16 .
