Form 16, the TDS certificate for salary, must be issued by the employer by 15 June following the end of the financial year. For FY 2025-26, that is 15 June 2026.
It has two parts: Part A carries the TDS deducted and deposited, drawn from the TRACES portal, and Part B carries the salary break-up and deductions. Part A can be generated only after the quarterly TDS statements are filed.
