Rule 31 of IT Rule governs the manner and time limit for issue of TDS certificates. There is a proviso to Rule 31(3) which states as follows Provided also that where more than one certificate is required to be furnished to a payee for deductions of income-tax made during a financial year, the person deducting the tax, may on request from such payee, issue within one month from the close of such financial year a consolidated certificate in Form No. 16A for tax deducted during whole of such financial year.
