Overview
What Form 16 issuance actually involves
Form 16 is the annual TDS certificate an employer issues to employees under Section 203.
Part A carries the TDS deducted and deposited; Part B carries the salary computation with exemptions and deductions.
It must be issued by 15 June following the financial year, generated from TDS return data.
The figures must reconcile with the 24Q TDS returns — mismatches are what trigger employee notices.
Benefits
Why employers get Form 16s issued through us
Open each benefit to see what it means for you.
Part A and Part B, reconciled
Form 16 has two parts — Part A with TDS details, Part B with the salary computation. Both must match your TDS returns. We issue them reconciled, not stitched together.
On time, every June
Employees need Form 16 by mid-June to file their returns. Late or wrong Form 16s mean a flood of employee queries in July — we keep that from happening.
Per-employee computations
New regime vs old regime, HRA proofs, 80C declarations — the salary computation behind Form 16 has to reflect what each employee actually declared. We build it per employee.
Revisions handled cleanly
If a correction is needed later, a revised Form 16 is issued cleanly against the revised TDS return. No confusion about which version is current.

What is a CIN?
Every Private Limited Company gets a unique 21-character Corporate Identification Number from the MCA. It's proof your company legally exists. You'll need it for bank accounts, tax filings, and contracts. We handle the entire application — you just provide the documents above.
Not sure if your documents are ready?
Send us what you have. A ComplyKart expert will review them for free and tell you exactly what's missing — no obligation.
Get Free Document ReviewQuestions Founders ask us about documents
What if my address proof is old?
Utility bills and bank statements must be less than 2 months old. If yours are older, get a fresh copy — the MCA rejects stale proofs.
Do I need original documents?
No. Clear scans or photos work for the entire process. We never ask you to courier originals.
What if directors live in different cities?
That's normal. Each director uploads their own documents separately. Our system keeps everything organised.
I'm outside India. Can I still register a company?
Yes. India allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, and the entire process happens online. You need one Indian resident director, and your passport + address proof must be apostilled — we'll guide you through both. NRI founders and foreign investors do this with us regularly.
Check if you're eligible →How long does registration actually take?
7 to 10 working days from the day your documents are verified. Name approval takes 2-3 days, MCA incorporation another 5-7. We track every stage and update you.
Can I start if I'm missing one document?
Yes. Start now with what you have — we begin name reservation and DSC while you arrange the rest. Most founders are missing one proof; it rarely blocks the timeline.
Process
Form 16 issuance process — step by step
You’ll see each stage, what’s pending and what we need from you — so filings don’t bounce back.
Step 1 of 6
1. Confirm all TDS returns are filed
Form 16 can only be downloaded from TRACES after all four Form 24Q quarterly returns are filed and the challans match. We verify this first — typically within 1–2 working days.
2. Reconcile payroll with TDS
We match your payroll register against Form 24Q and challan 281. Any gap between salary paid and TDS deposited blocks Form 16 generation, so we clear it before proceeding.
3. Download Part A from TRACES
Part A carries the employer's TAN, employee PAN and the quarter-wise TDS summary. We download it from the TRACES portal for every employee.
4. Prepare Part B
Part B shows the salary breakup, exemptions and chapter VI-A deductions. We prepare it from your payroll and the investment proofs employees submitted.
5. Issue by 15 June
Form 16 must reach employees by 15 June following the financial year. We sign and share the completed Form 16s with your team well before the deadline.
6. Handle corrections
If an employee's PAN or TDS figure was wrong, we file a Form 24Q correction and reissue the Form 16. Late or wrong Form 16s cost you ₹100 per day under section 272A.

By 15 June following the financial year. Miss it and employees cannot file their returns on time — and the complaints land on your HR desk, not ours.
Part A shows the TDS deducted and deposited (pulled from your TDS returns); Part B shows the salary breakup, exemptions, and deductions. Both together make the complete Form 16.
Yes — Form 16A is the TDS certificate for non-salary payments (professional fees, rent, commission). If you deduct TDS on vendor payments too, those need their own certificates.
Only if TDS was actually deducted on salary during the year. No TDS, no Form 16 — though employees may still ask for a salary certificate, which is a different document.
File a revised 24Q and issue a corrected Form 16. It happens — wrong PAN, missed declaration. The fix is routine if the underlying TDS return is corrected first.
Form 16 is generated from TDS return data on the TRACES portal. Anyone offering Form 16s without the underlying TDS filings is selling you a problem.
