Hi Thanks for your response, Can you also advise if it is compulsory for a company to issue FORM 16 to employees who do not come under taxable limit? Will salary slip suffice? thanks daisy

Even if the income is below the exemption limit, the individual has to file the returns. for filing the returns, Form 16 is required.
