TDS on Salary & Form 16 Generation in
Mumbai City

IMAK Advisory is an ICAI-registered firm of chartered accountants in Whitefield, Bengaluru, helping salaried employees, pensioners, investors, freelancers, businesses and NRIs across India file income tax return online correctly and on time. Whether you typed "file incometax return online" or searched for a CA to review your ITR, the aim is the same: the right ITR form, every income source reported, and a filing that matches what the department already knows about you.

Start with your documents. To download Form 16 for salaried employees, ask your employer or HR portal – employers issue it by 15 June, and employees cannot download it from the department's website themselves. For Form 26AS download, log in to incometax.gov.in, go to e-File, Income Tax Returns, View Form 26AS, and continue to TRACES. Download the Annual Information Statement as well, because the department compares every ITR with it. The official ITR login is only on incometax.gov.in; "itrlogin" searches should lead you there, and we never ask for your password by email.

If you earn interest and owe no tax, note that Form 15G/H has been replaced from 1 April 2026 by Form 121, a single declaration given to banks and other payers. Where TDS has already been deducted, the way to recover it is still to file an ITR and claim the refund.

Deadlines matter. For AY 2026-27, the tax return last date was 31 July 2026 for ITR-1 and ITR-2 and 31 August 2026 for non-audit business cases; audit cases have until 21 November 2026 and transfer pricing cases until 30 November 2026. The last date to file tax return as a belated filing is 31 December 2026, and corrections through a revised ITR are allowed until 31 March 2027. If you are checking the ITR return last date or the ITR duedate for an older year, the ITR last date 2024 for AY 2024-25 was 31 July 2024, with belated and revised filings allowed until 15 January 2025 for resident individuals; for that year only an updated ITR is now usually possible.

From tax year 2026-27, filings move to Section 263 of the Income-tax Act, 2025, and familiar documents get new numbers: the salary TDS certificate (Form 16) is now numbered 130, the annual tax statement (Form 26AS) is numbered 168, and the 15G and 15H declarations are merged into Form 121. Our chartered accountants map the old and new references so that nothing is missed during the changeover.

Good ITR filing is mostly preparation: matching Form 16 with Form 26AS, reporting every AIS entry, choosing the regime before the due date and verifying within 30 days. These are the checks our team runs for every client before anything is submitted.
