Only an employer can generate and download this part of Form 16 through the TRACES (https://www.tdscpc.gov.in/app/login.xhtml) portal. Prior to issuing the certificate, the employer should authenticate its contents.
It is important to note that if you change your job in one financial year, every employer will issue a separate Part A of Form 16, for the period of employment.
Some of the components of Part A are:
- Name and address of the employer
- TAN & PAN of employer
- PAN of the employee
Summary of tax deducted & deposited quarterly, which is certified by the employer.
