If
a salaried employee has not received Form 16, then he/she can use Form
26AS and salary slips to prepare and file income tax return or ITR
An
employer provides Form 16 to an employee listing the amount of income
tax deducted and deposited with the government. Form 16 has important
information you need in order to file your income tax return or ITR. The
due date for filing ITRs for the financial year 2017-18, or assessment
year 2018-19, is July 31. Form 16 is issued after the end of the
financial year for which tax was deducted. It essentially has two parts:
Part A has details of the employee and tax deducted. Part B has lists
salary break-up and deductions claimed.
