How to verify form 16 submitted by the applicant

Well just check if form 16 submitted to you is downloaded from traces. If yes no more verification is required

How wan we identify is it downloaded from traces or not?

TDS certificate i.e form 16 is issued electronically from traces site. it is a mandatory provision. On every form downloaded you get mention of traces at heading. so simply check if it is downloaded form or a manually/ traditionally prepared form by the employer himself.

Make policy to fobtain electronically obtained TDS and salary certificate from current / existing employer to avoid such situations.

Hello
Certificates downloaded from TRACES are in a specific format. A form downloaded from TRACES would bear a 7 character alphabet unique certificate number and it will also have a TDS- CPS logo on the left side and a national emblem on the right side at the top. This certificate would provide the details of the income paid to you and also the tax deducted from that income by the payer and whether the same has been deposited by him with the government.

See the attchment for sample copy of form16
