Generate Form 16 Part B

Last updated May 26, 2025 · Tushar Agarwal

Form 16 is essentially a certificate that employers issue to their employees. It validates the fact that TDS has been deducted and deposited with the authorities on behalf of the employee. Form 16 has two components: Part A and Part B. Form 16 Part A is downloaded from the TRACES website, while the employer generates Part B. After you generate Part B, publish it so that the employee can download it.


Follow these steps to generate Form 16 Part B:

  1. Navigate to Control Panel → Payroll → Form 16.
  2. Click the Generate Part B button (in the page action bar) to generate Form 16 Part B for the employee.
  3. On the new page that opens, fill in the details of the person responsible for deducting TDS in the organization.
  4. Select the employees for whom you want to generate Form 16 Part B.
  5. Click the Generate button (at the bottom of the page).

A notification confirms that Form 16 has been generated, and an entry appears in the list of employees with generated/uploaded Form 16. To publish an employee’s Form 16, click the publish icon in the Actions column. The employee can download it from Main Panel → Compensation → Income tax computation.
