Basically it is known as a document which is being issued to the employee by the employer, which provides a validation that the tax has been deducted on the salary of the particular employee and have deposited to the government authority on the behalf of the employee and also form 16 provides the detailed summary of the salary paid by the employer per annual and how much TDS has been deducted on that salary.
Form 16 contains the details of the required information which helps taxpayers to file their income tax return. The deductor must have to issue the form 16 to the employee every year after the financial year ends so that the employee can file their return easily on the time. And if the form 16 has lost by the employee they can get that again by requesting to provide that to the employer.
What are the eligibility criteria for form 16?
According to the rule and regulation which is issued by the finance minister of the Indian government, who comes under the bracket of the taxable income the all need to have the form 16.
As if the employee does not comes into the bracket of taxable income then also they are not eligible for tax deduction at source so that’s why they don’t need the form 16.
