Dear Pramod,
I think Information of ALL employees should be sent in quarterly returns & not only in respect of those employees whose salary exceeds exemption limit..
As I stated earlier Form 16 is mandatory for those employees where TDS is deducted..But it;s not that it cannot be issued to other employees.
Practically Form 16 is issued to ALL EMPLOYEES, therefore there are cases of Nil Deduction in Form 16..
Form 12 BA is required for Valuation of perquisites, the valuation of perks from Form 12 BA is carried over to Form 16..therefore It is advisable to attach with Form 16 even in cases where there are No pers or Valuation us Nil..
Tell me one thing Brother, Y causing so much confusion whether it is mandatory or not...make it simple Form 16 (along with Form 12 BA) should be issued to ALL EMPLOYEES..Afterall it something which software has to do, I don't find any reason for making things complicated for urself..
