It has two parts: Part A (TRACES-generated) certifying TDS deducted and deposited quarter by quarter, and Part B (employer-generated) detailing the full salary breakup, exempt allowances, deductions claimed, and net taxable income. Zoho Payroll generates Form 16 Part B for all employees after the financial year closes.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Form 16 Part A vs Part B<\/h2>\n<p>Part A is downloaded from TRACES and certifies TDS deposited by the employer with the government. It cannot be generated from Zoho Payroll directly but is linked to Form 24Q data that Zoho Payroll helps prepare. Part B is the detailed salary certificate generated from Zoho Payroll&#8217;s records: it shows all earnings, exemptions (HRA, LTA, etc.), deductions (80C, 80D, PT), and the final taxable income and tax computed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Generating Form 16 in Zoho Payroll<\/h2>\n<p>After the financial year ends (after March 31), navigate to Tax Filings > Form 16 in Zoho Payroll. The system aggregates full-year salary data, exemptions, deductions, and TDS for each employee and generates Form 16 Part B PDFs. Employers must distribute Form 16 to all employees by June 15 of the following financial year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Form 16 and Employee ITR Filing<\/h2>\n<p>Form 16 is the primary document employees use to file their Income Tax Return. Part B provides all figures needed: gross salary, HRA exemption, standard deduction, Chapter VI-A deductions, net taxable income, and total TDS. Zoho Payroll&#8217;s accurate payroll processing throughout the year ensures Form 16 data is correct and matches the TDS deposited.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\"><strong>Example:<\/strong> An employee&#8217;s annual gross salary is Rs 9.6 lakh. After HRA exemption Rs 84,000, standard deduction Rs 50,000, and 80C deduction Rs 1.5 lakh, taxable income = Rs 7.16 lakh. Total TDS = Rs 68,000 deducted across 12 months. Zoho Payroll generates Part B with all these figures; the employer downloads Part A from TRACES and combines both for Form 16.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-related-pills\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/tds-on-salary-zoho-payroll\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">TDS on Salary<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/form-24q-zoho-payroll\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Form 24Q<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/investment-declaration-zoho-payroll\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Investment Declaration<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/form-12bb-zoho-payroll\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Form 12BB<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/form-12ba-zoho-payroll\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Form 12BA<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\"><strong>What is Form 16 in Zoho Payroll?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Form 16 is the annual TDS certificate issued to employees by the employer.
