Before the ITR filing process, there are many documents you need to keep in handy. Form 16A is one among them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Form 16A?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Form 16A is a document every employer of an organisation maintains for its employees. The document states the income sources of the employee and is more like a TDS(Tax Deducted at Source) certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Form 16A shows TDS deducted and deposited on all other payments except salary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[adinserter block=”3″]\n[adinserter block=”4″]\n\n\n\n

              How to Get Form 16A?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              Usually, the deductor issues the form 16A document to an employee for the current financial year and reflects the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              1. Total earnings<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              2. Total income taxes deducted for that financial year from other sources of income apart from your salary<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                You can get the form 16A document by following the below steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                1. Navigate to the online website of the income tax department.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                2. Download the form 16 A document either in the fillable form or pdf.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n[adinserter block=”3″]\n[adinserter block=”4″]\n\n\n\n

                  When is Form 16A Required?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                  A “TDS Certificate.” is issued by a deductor when payments from non-Salary incomes are made like – TDS Professional fees, Rent, and Bank Interest payments to the IT Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  As it carries all amounts of TDS deposited with the Income Tax Department, the form 16A document acts like a TDS certificate. Therefore, when filing Income Tax returns, you need all these details in Form 16A.<\/p>\n\n\n
