Hi all,
I have a problem relating to Certificate for TDS on salary ( Form 16). One of my friends says that his previous employer does not want to issue Form 16 since he has left the company without adequate notice. What is the alternative for claiming TDS credit from the Income Tax department.
Also is the employer right in saying so.
Kindly enlighten me on the issue.

Hi Paddutr,
The employer is definitely doing a wrong act by not issuing a TDS certificate. It is mandatory to all employers to issue Form to employee once the return has been filed at the Income tax office.
Firstly let your friend go & talk to the employer once again requesting for the TDS certificate. Incase the employer still dosnt issue then let him tell the employer that he will approach the IT office directly.
Then ask your friend to collect his appointment/ appraisal letter mentioning his last drawn salary, his monthly pay slips which will show TDS deductions monthly etc. Tell him to give a written complaint to the IT office with all the details like monthly deductions made by employer for TDS & also employers act of not issuing the certificate.
See, if you go thu this route your employer may also fall into trouble bcoz this will force the IT officers to doubt your employers that they are into some fraud act since they are deducting employees TDS but not filing the returns. Although this may or may not be right. But dont worry if your friends TDS is deducted every month, the employer has to issue the certificate. Going thu the procedure of IT office would be little time consuming but he will get it.

Dear Padutra,
Pooja is 100% right, as per the IT Act its the responsibility of the employer to provide the Form 16 to all the employees who have worked with the organisation during any point in time in that Financial Year, you may request your friend to get in touch with the concerned Income Tax Department for the same if the employeers is being rough with him.
Thanks & regards,

dear paddutr,
Pooja is correct in her reply.
1. The salary is paid by the employer.
2. It is the mandatory document (Form No.16) the employer should issue to each and every employee.
3. Gross salary, exemption, savings, tax payable, tds deducted, and tax to be paid needs to be indicated in the form.
4. Tds details to be indicated in the form.
5. This form will become encloure along with saral form to file the return. Without this form no incometax office will accept the income tax return.
6. So tell your friend to talk to previous employer in order to get the form -16.
By the by, the last date to file the income tax return was already over by July. Did your friend not file the same ? He may be penalised for his lack.
Hope you are attending the Chennai Meet. Your doubts can be clarified. If you need any reference to meet the Income tax office, kindly let me know.
