In circular 2/2009 para 16, Govt has clarified that NSDL shall assign an UTN for every TDS and TCS records reported in F.Y.2007-2008 and F.Y.2008-2009.
NSDL will mail to the deductor if E-mail is provided or will create facility to download UTN file.
NSDL will also create facility for independent viewing of UTNs by the deductee.

It is true that NSDL will provide the UTN nos. but is thr any time period when they will provide, b'coz corporate assessees have to issue form 16 & 16A after the month of april and till now thr is no reponse for the same UTNs, so shall anybody can issue old form 16s or should wait till NSDL provide UTN Nos.
