Form 16 Generation Template

Simplify Form 16 Generation for Your Organisation

Form 16 is a critical tax document that Indian employers must provide to their employees, certifying the Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) from their salary. As a chartered accountant, HR manager, or business owner, preparing accurate Form 16 certificates can be time-consuming and error-prone when done manually.

This Form 16 Generation Template streamlines the entire process, allowing you to collect all necessary information—employee details, salary components, deductions under various sections, and TDS amounts—in one organised, professional form. Built specifically for Indian tax compliance requirements, this template ensures you capture every detail needed for accurate Form 16 certificates.

Why Use Paperform for Form 16 Generation?

Paperform's intelligent calculation engine handles complex tax computations automatically. As you enter salary breakups and deduction amounts, the form calculates taxable income, applicable deductions, and net tax liability in real time. This reduces manual errors and speeds up the certificate generation process significantly.

The conditional logic feature means you only see relevant fields based on the regime chosen (old vs new tax regime), and you can customise the form to match your organisation's specific salary structure. Whether you have a handful of employees or hundreds, this template scales with your needs.

Automate Your Compliance Workflow

Once you've collected the necessary information through this form, you can extend your workflow using Stepper—Paperform's AI-native workflow automation tool. Automatically route submissions to your accounts team, trigger certificate generation in your payroll software, send notifications to employees, and maintain a centralised database of all Form 16 records.

For organisations that need employees to acknowledge receipt of their Form 16, you can integrate Papersign to send digital acknowledgment forms that employees can sign electronically, creating a complete audit trail.

Built for Indian Employers and Tax Professionals

Whether you're an HR professional, accountant, payroll manager, or small business owner, this template helps you stay compliant with Income Tax Act requirements while saving hours of administrative work. The form captures all mandatory details as per Section 203 of the Income Tax Act and aligns with CBDT guidelines for Form 16 issuance.
