A taxpayer can preserve his salary slips at least till the time he gets Tax certificate. Then if form 16 is not received, he can file his returns on the basis of salary slips (as TDS deduction by employer is mentioned in it).
So, in this way, employee can get his claims even if the form 16 is not available. In other words, we can say an employee need not worry about paying taxes again on his Income only to get form 16 from the employer..
