Important Points. Valid PAN is mandatory for generation of Form 16(Part A) from TRACES. Correction statement is required to be filed to report the valid PAN for downloading Form 16 (Part A). Earlier it was mandatory to issue Form 16 Part A from TRACES. Now it has been made mandatory for employers to download and issue Part-B of Form 16 to employees also from the TRACES portal. If an employee is working, or has worked, with more than one employer during the financial year then each employer is required to issue Part A of Form 16 in respect of the period during which the assessee was employed with each of the employers and Part B may be issued by each of the employer or by last employer at the option of the assessee.
