I am providing here the details for getting the TDS Certificates. Step by Step details are given below:

(1) The deductor has to register their TAN with nsdl website. Click on the "Online TAN Registration" available in the home page of www.tin-nsdl.com and follow the due procedures mentioned therein.

(2) Upon registration the deductor would be allotted an Reference Number. Note down this number.

(3) The deductor will also receive an email from NSDL informing the Reference Number, User Name, Password...etc

(4) After confirmation of registration formalities, go to www.tin-nsdl.com website, and Login to TAN Account

(5) Provide the User Name, Password and TAN Number

(6) Provide the details as asked for by the website for every quarter. You will receive by email a text file from nsdl.

(7) Now the said text file needs to be converted into a pdf file / TDS certificate (Form 16A). Requisite conversion software provided in the website itself.

(8) Once converted your TDS certificates will be saved in your computer automatically at the defined path.

(9) Take print out of the certificates and check the same for 100% accuracy

(10) If found in order, affix seal and signature and issue the certificate to the deductees

NSDL is yet to announce such facility for Salary TDS Certificate. For the time they have made available such facility only for Form 16A (non salary cases)

Form 16A PDF Converter Utility

Form 16A is a TDS certificate which is prepared and issued by the deductor to the deductee. Now Form 16A can be downloaded from TIN website from Financial Year 2010-11 onwards.Form 16A will be sent on the registered e-mail ID on successful confirmation of KYC for the particular Financial Year and Quarter. The nomenclature of the file will be TAN_AY_Quarter_Form 16A Reference Number_Part of file_of_Part of file.

For example: MUMA12345E_201112_Q1_FORM_16A_0000001717_0001_OF_0001.zip

In case transactions are large in number, it may not be possible to incorporate it in a single file. In such case, it will be split into parts owing to restriction of e-mail size.

The zip file is password protected, to open the file please use your TAN Registration Number.
