Regarding Form 16

If the TDS is Nil, there is no need to issue Form 16 but was TDS really NIL or the employer failed to deduct tax at source, though he was obligated to do so? As your present loan outstanding amount is Rs 25 L and your requirement is also Rs 19 L, in all probability you must be having taxable salary, on which tax ought to have been deducted, unless there was gap in the employment due to your personal reasons.

If there was indeed gap in your employment and there was no need to deduct tax at source on the salary income earned by you during this period, in all probability you may not get the loan as requested for by you, unless your current salary is substantial.

The payslips received by you should be sufficient evidence for the receipt of salary, if there was no need to deduct tax at source from the salary income.

Either you can ask from employer to issue a declaration tht TDS was not applicable that's why Form 16 was not issued. Or you ask to issue blank Form 16 frm your employer

There are two options:

1. Even if your TDS is nil many employers issue form 16. You can check with your employer.

2. Alternatively, you can ask your bank to take salary slip instead of form 16.

If your net take home salary becomes less than taxable income due to EMIs, still tax needs to be deducted at source from salary income, unless, your income becomes less than taxable income after giving effect to the interest on housing loan and deductions u/s 80C towards repayment of principal amount.

It will be advisable to see your pay slips and Form 16 for previous years for providing meaningful and relevant suggestions.

Hi,

Sorry, but a Form 16 can be issued only by your employer. Since you have worked with the same employer, you can ask for a declaration from your employer stating your gross salary and the net taxable income and that it was below the taxable limit.

Alternatively, you can file your tax return for last year and offer that as a proof of income to the bank.

You can approach your employer and request him for a Salary certificate or working of salary. Along with the same attach your all months payslips.

Then submit the same to banker stating that as per calculation you are below taxable limit and hence TDS not deducted.

Hi

Form 16 can be issue even if Non deduction of TDS thus request your employer to provide you form 16 in which he can mention your salary details and which showing no tds required / if you had filled your itr then banker can accept the same with your Joining letter, appraisal letter(if any) , last 6 months bank statement , last 3 months salary slips

Hello,

Even if the TDS was Zero your employer can still issue you a Form 16. You can ask them to issue you a genuine form 16 instead of faking one. In case they do not consider your request ask your banker if an income tax return will suffice instead of a form 16 or may be a salary slip.

Trust this clarifies your query.

Feel free to call / get back in case of further clarifications.

Thanking You.
