Form 16
Issue Form 16 for everyone or for chosen people. Each issue is a frozen, versioned snapshot; employees download theirs from My tax. A Form 16 issued before the year closes is marked provisional.
The PDF has a payroll summary as Part A and the computation as Part B. The statutory Part A still comes from TRACES.
Challans and returns
- Record each TDS challan (BSR code, date, serial) in the challan register per month.
- Export 24Q (salaries) and 26Q (contractors) per quarter as CSV, with warnings for missing challans or PANs.
- Use the export with your return-preparation utility — ECN People does not generate the FVU file.
Form names and section numbers change under the Income-tax Act 2025; they are configurable and should be confirmed with your CA.
Contractors
Add contractor payees with PAN, type and section; payouts compute TDS with thresholds. A different person approves a payout than the one who created it.
