Form 16 Income Tax Components
For an employee, Income Tax Form 16 is the most important
tax document. Document Form 16 consists of two parts.
Part A
Part A contains a summary of tax deducted by an employer or
organization from an employee's paycheck and deposited on behalf of the
employee with the IT department. This certificate is signed by the organization
or employer and serves as proof that the employer or organization withheld
income tax at source, that is, from the employee's salary, and transferred this
amount to the IT department.

Details mentioned in Part A include:
Personal information about the employer and employee. This
includes employer and employee names, addresses, PAN data, and employer TAN data.
The TAN or tax account number is the number assigned to the account that is
used to collect and withhold taxes. These details allow income tax authorities
to analyze cash flows from an employer's account to an employee's account.
Note. An organization is not eligible to collect TDS if it
does not have a TAN. In such cases, Form 16 is not issued.
The assessment Year is the specific year in which the taxpayer's income will be assessed. Simply put, this is the specific year that the taxpayer applies for an income tax return. For example, income or wages received between April 1, 2019, and March 31, 2020, are subject to assessment in 2020-2021. The estimated year is therefore 2020-21.
