Before you can file a tax return, you must have Form 16 - if you are an employee of a company, or Form 16A - if you have income from a source other than your salary. Form 16 Part B and Form Part 16 A are tax deducted at source (TDS) certificates used by income earners when filing tax returns. Both the forms were issued under section 203 of the Income-tax Act, 1961. In addition to being important documents for tax compliance, they also serve as proof of TDS.

What is Form 16?
Form 16 is a Salary TDS Certificate, which is issued annually to salaried employees.

If you change jobs within a year, you will be issued multiple Form 16s (depending on the company you worked for).
