Form 16 is a TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) certificate issued by your employer. It serves as proof of the tax deducted from your salary and contains essential details required for filing your income tax return.

Key Information in Form 16:

• TDS Details – Tax deducted and deposited with the government on your behalf

• Interest on Home Loan – If disclosed to your employer, this will be reflected

• Tax Deductions – Deductions claimed under sections like 80C, 80D, etc.

You can use Form 16 to prefill your tax return at the time of filing, making the process quicker and more accurate.
