Tax Deducted at Source
  1. TDS stands for 'Tax Deducted at Source'.
  2. It was introduced to collect tax at the source from where an individual's income is generated.
  3. The government uses TDS as a tool to collect tax in order to minimize tax evasion by taxing the income (partially or wholly) at the time it is generated rather than at a later date.

The following are the correct statements about TDS Certificates:

  1. Form 16:
    •  Form 16 is your salary TDS certificate.
    • If your income from salary for the financial year is more than the basic exemption limit of Rs 2,50,000 your employer is required, by the Income Tax Act, to deduct TDS on your salary and deposit it with the government.
    • If you have also disclosed your income from other heads to your employer, they will consider your total income for TDS deduction.
  2. Form 16 A: Form 16A is also a TDS Certificate. While Form 16 is for only salary income, Form 16A is applicable for TDS on Income Other than Salary. For example, a Form 16A shall be issued to you –

    • when a bank deducts TDS on your interest income from fixed deposits,
    • for TDS deducted on insurance commission,
    • for TDS deducted on your rent receipts.
  3. Form 16 B: 
    • Form 16B for tax deducted at source verifies the volume of tax deducted at source when making a property purchase.
    • This amount is given by the buyer to the Income Tax department.
    • In a nutshell, this is a TDS certificate for all TDS deducted upon a property sale.
  4. Form 16 C:
    • Form 16C is the TDS certificate to be issued by the deductor (Tenant of property) to the deductee (Landlord of property) in respect of the tax deducted and deposited as TDS on rent under section 194-IB of the Income-tax Act, 1961.

Therefore, from the above explanation, Option 2 is the correct answer.
