Taxpayers often use Form 16, given by employers, to file their tax returns. However, tax return can still be e-filed without Form 16 by following the given process: Gather Your Payslips: Collect monthly payslips to calculate the total income for the year. Use Other Documents: Check the bank statements for interest income, and use other documents for different sources of income like rent or investments. Calculate TDS: Bank statements also reflect the tax deducted at the source (TDS) on interest income. For salary income, the TDS details can be fetched from the HR payroll system. e-Filing Websites: Online e-filing platforms offer tools to calculate tax based on the input data, even without Form 16. Enter Details Manually: You'll have to manually enter your salary, deductions, and other incomes on the e-filing portal. Since, with Form 16, these details would have been captured automatically.
