How Form 16 connects to your ITR
Form 16 is your employer's record of what you earned and what tax was paid on your behalf. Here is how it flows into your tax return.
Employer compiles Form 16
By June 15 every year, your employer issues Form 16. Part A shows the TDS certificate - how much tax was deducted each quarter and deposited with the government under your PAN. Part B shows your full salary breakup and deductions claimed.
Compare TDS against actual tax
Your employer estimated your tax at the start of the year. Your actual tax may differ - if you changed jobs, had other income, or changed deductions. This calculator recomputes your real liability under both regimes so you know the gap.
File ITR and settle by July 31
If TDS > actual tax, you get a refund after filing your ITR. If TDS < actual tax, you need to pay the balance as Self-Assessment Tax (SAT) before filing. Missing the July 31 deadline attracts interest u/s 234A at 1% per month.
Your employer used old regime - you don't have to
If your Form 16 Part B shows deductions under 80C, 80D, or HRA, your employer computed TDS under the old regime. When you file your ITR, you can freely choose either regime. If the new regime gives you a lower tax (check the comparison above), switch - your excess TDS will come back as a refund. For most salaried employees under ₹15L gross with limited deductions, the new regime wins in FY 2025-26.
