What is a TDS certificate? 

All TDS certificates include Form 16, Form 16A, Form 16 B, and Form 16 C. An individual or business entity deducts TDS from the assessee while making the payment. This amount is deposited to the Government against the deductee’s PAN Number. He must then issue the corresponding TDS certificates to the deductee. For example, banks issue the depositor Form 16A when TDS is deducted from fixed-deposit value. Form 16 is issued to the employee by the employer.
