Form 16A is the TDS certificate for deductions other than salary. The deductor issues it every quarter, within 15 days of the due date for filing the quarterly TDS statement, and generates it from the TRACES portal after the statement is processed.
If the amount or PAN is wrong, first compare the certificate with your Form 26AS or AIS. Mismatches usually arise because the deductor filed the TDS statement late, quoted a wrong PAN or did not deposit the tax. Ask the deductor to file a correction statement; once it is processed, a corrected Form 16A can be downloaded. You can claim credit only for TDS that appears against your PAN.
If the deductor does not cooperate, keep a written record of your requests and take advice from your CA on the next step.
