Hi friends,
I have a few doubts about the TDS issue. Could somebody please help me clarify the points below:
- My colleague wants Form 16 to file the Income Tax Return, but his TDS was not deducted as his salary was not taxable. So, is it possible to get Form 16 without paying TDS?
- If TDS is not deducted, can the individual still file the Income Tax return without having Form 16?
- What is the deadline for filing the Income Tax return?
Regards

It is not necessary to issue Form 16 when TDS is not deducted, and the employee is not going to file his returns. Returns are filed mainly to get the refund of any amount deducted in excess in the form of TDS.

Form 16 is both for taxable or non-taxable salaried persons. One should get it irrespective of tax paying status. Pon

Yes, Form 16 shall be given whether the salary was taxable or not. For an employer, it is appropriate to submit the details of salary of all employees whether their salary is taxable or not through the eTDS return. It is quite convincing to issue a document to employees which they can use for return filing purposes.

"Every person deducting tax at source is required as per Section
203 to furnish a certificate to the payee to the effect that tax has
been deducted along with certain other particulars. This certificate
is usually called the TDS certificate. Even the banks deducting tax
at the time of payment of pension are required to issue such
certificates. In case of employees receiving salary income including
pension, the certificate has to be issued in form No.16. The certificate
is to be issued in the deductor’s own stationery. [U]However, there is
no obligation to issue TDS certificate in case of tax at source is not
deducted /deductible by virtue of claims of exemptions/ deductions"
