If you are terminated from an organization after 1.9 years due to submitting false documents, will there be any chance of getting Form 16 from them?
Can the person get Form 16 without any issue, as there is a chance that they might hold the relieving letter?

Hi

Form-16 is the TDS certificate issued by your employer when they deduct TDS. When an employer deducts TDS on salaries, the income tax act requires that a certificate be issued by the employer, where the details of tax deducted and deposited are certified.

So issue of Form16(subject to applicability) has nothing to do with termination. Issue of Form16 will help the employee to file IT returns. Employer cannot deny issuing Form16.

With regard to relieving letter as already clarified in other thread issue of relieving letter for termination cases termination letter will be the proof for the closure of contract. Some employer might issue certificate mentioning the termination and reason.

If you have been terminated from an organization due to the submission of false documents, it is important to understand that providing false or fraudulent documents is a serious matter and can have legal implications. In such a situation, the organization may choose to take appropriate actions, including withholding certain documents or benefits.

Form-16 is a certificate issued by an employer that provides details of the income earned and taxes deducted during a financial year. It is typically issued to employees who have been employed and received a salary. However, the decision to issue Form-16 after termination due to submission of false documents would depend on the policies and procedures of the specific organization.

In most cases, if the termination is a result of fraudulent activities, the organization may choose not to issue Form-16 or any other employment-related documents. This is because issuing such documents could imply that the organization validates or acknowledges the false information provided.

It is advisable to consult with the HR department or the concerned authorities of the organization to seek clarification on their policies regarding the issuance of Form-16 in cases of termination due to submission of false documents. They will be able to provide you with accurate information based on the organization's policies and procedures.
