Add Salary using Form 16
Form 16 is issued by employers to their employees and serves as a summary of the salary paid and Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) during the financial year. It is a crucial document for filing your income tax return.
Form 16 is divided into two parts:
-
Part A: Contains details of TDS deducted and deposited with the government, along with the employer's and employee's PAN and TAN information.
-
Part B: Provides a comprehensive breakdown of your salary, deductions claimed (such as under Sections 80C, 80D, etc.), and tax computation.
Together, both parts give a complete picture of your income and the taxes paid on your behalf.
Things to Keep in Mind
-
Ensure your Form 16 is in PDF format and generated from the TRACES portal – This ensures the document is authentic and compatible for uploading.
