Receipt No. is compulsory in Form16/16A

Hi,

Please find below a new notification from NSDL:

"Receipt number to be quoted in Form 16/16A will be generated by TIN. Receipt number will be generated for the quarterly TDS/TCS statements pertaining to FY 2010-11 and onwards uploaded to TIN. Receipt number generated will be of eight digits (alphabets) and will be applicable only for statements pertaining to FY 2010-11 and onwards. Eight digit receipt number can be obtained by viewing the status of the quarterly TDS/TCS statement at under Quarterly Statement Status feature available at TIN website (www.tin-nsdl.com).

Receipt number provided by TIN is in addition to the provisional receipt number provided on acceptance/upload of quarterly TDS/TCS statement. Provisional receipt number will be referred as Token no for the statements pertaining to FY 2010-11 and onwards."

please advice that where i can add these Receipt number in form16/16A.

current practice is to put acknowledgement number in the column of Receipt number. Can we replace the acknowledgement number by Receipt number or Can we put both acknowledge number and Receipt number.

please advice.........

Thanks & regards
