I have paid self assessment tax on my Salary for the A.Y 2010-11. Is my co. liable to issue Form 16 when it has not deducted any or will they issue only salary certificate. Also kindly tell me what documents are required along with the return to be sent Income Tax office
Normally the onus of deducting tax from the salary of the employee is on employer. An employer has to issue Form16 to his employee showing tax liability as nil. An employer cannot issue Form 16 with tax payable. Please refer the income tax rules pertaining to issue of Form 16 by the employer to the employee. For FY 2009-2010 Saral II (ITR 1) is the form for salary return and the same has to be filed and no other documents are required to be filed.
