Hi Vikas,
Did you provide the any other income details to your employer if not according to me your hand salary should be more than 13500/- can you let me know your salary structure for more clearity......
Coming to your query cash payment of salary does not matter to issue form 16 if your case pertain to AY 2016-17 your employer was obliged to issue the form 16 till 30/5/2016 as your employer has not issued form 16 yet you may approach your range assessing officer of income tax along with the evidence of TDS deduction. the AO may impossed the penalty Rs. 100 per day under section 272A upon your employer for non issuance of TDS certificate within the prescribed due date,
Thanks & Regard

Salary in hand has no relevance for the income tax point of view. You have to state the gross total of salary for the year and the nature of deductions exempt from tax.

IF your salary is Rs. 13500 per month, you are below the taxable limit and therefore no TDS would have been deducted from your salary. In view of the above, the company can not issue a Form 16 to you at all. It would be illegal.
