Form 130 (old Form 16): Part A and Part B Decoded
- Facts
- Form 130 (old Form 16) is the salary TDS certificate, the most important document for a salaried person's ITR. Most employees receive it but don't know how to use it. Part A shows TDS deposited with the government. Part B is the salary breakup prepared by the employer. Errors in Form 130 (old Form 16) cause ITR mismatches and demands.
- Provisions and law
- Sec 395(4) (old 203); Rule 215 (old Rule 31); TRACES system; Sec 392 (old 192(2B))
- Analysis
- Form 130 (old Form 16) Part A, what to check: (1) Employer TAN must match what's in your Form 168 (old Form 26AS). (2) Your PAN must be correct. (3) TDS amount quarter-wise must match your Form 168 (old Form 26AS) and AIS. (4) "Amount paid / credited" = your gross salary for each quarter. (5) If employer changed TAN mid-year (company restructuring): multiple Part As may exist. Form 130 (old Form 16) Part B, the salary breakup: Shows: Basic salary, HRA, special allowance, LTA, bonus, perquisites. Deductions: Sec 123, Income-tax Act 2025 (old Sec 80C) investments, Sec 126 (old Sec 80D) health insurance, home loan interest (24b), standard deduction ₹75K. Taxable salary after deductions. TDS schedule with advance tax if any. This is what flows into your ITR Schedule S (Salary) and should match your AIS salary figure. Common Form 130 (old Form 16) errors: (1) Old investments not included in Part B (employer didn't update after you submitted Form 124 (old Form 12BB)). (2) HRA exemption computed wrong (wrong city classification).

FD Interest: Slab Rate, Sec 393 (old 194A) TDS, Form 121 (old Form 15G / 15H)
- Facts
- FD interest is the most commonly underdeclared income in India. Banks report every rupee to AIS via SFT. CPC computers compare AIS with ITR automatically. A missed ₹50,000 FD interest triggers a ₹25,000+ demand notice. Know the TDS rules and the Form 121 (old Form 15G/15H) exemption.
- Provisions and law
- Sec 393 (old 194A); Sec 393(6) (old 197A); Sec 93 (old 57); Rule 114-I; Sec 5
- Analysis
- How FD interest appears in AIS: Your bank files SFT to TRACES quarterly. Interest credited or accrued above ₹10K per account appears in AIS Category 5 (Interest from Deposits). If you have FDs in 3 banks: all 3 show up in AIS. Total AIS interest figure must match what you declare in ITR Schedule OS (Other Sources). Mismatch = Sec 270(1), Income-tax Act 2025 (old Sec 143(1)) notice. TDS threshold per bank: The ₹40K threshold (₹50K senior) is per bank, not per FD. All FDs in one bank are aggregated. Example: SBI FD interest ₹35K + SBI RD interest ₹10K = ₹45K → TDS applies (above ₹40K). But SBI ₹35K + HDFC ₹35K = SBI below threshold (no TDS from SBI) + HDFC below threshold (no TDS from HDFC) → but your total income includes both ₹35K amounts. You must pay tax on ₹70K total even though no TDS was deducted. Form 121 (old Form 15G) eligibility: Non-senior. TWO conditions both must be met: (1) FD income from THAT bank must be below ₹40K.
- Conclusion
- List all FDs across all banks, amount, rate, maturity date, interest credited this FY
- Download Form 131 (old Form 16A) from each bank (TDS certificate for FD interest) or check Form 168 (old Form 26AS)
- Download AIS, Category 5 (Interest from deposits), add up all banks
- Compute total FD interest for the year. This is income from other sources.
TDS on Property Purchase: Section 393(1) (old 194IA), Form 141 (old Form 26QB)
- Facts
- When you buy any property valued above ₹50L, you must deduct 1% TDS from the payment to the seller and deposit it with the government. This is not optional. The buyer is responsible, not the seller. Non-compliance: buyer becomes assessee in default with 1.5%/month interest and penalty equal to TDS. Most property buyers discover this obligation only after receiving a notice.
- Provisions and law
- Sec 393(1) (old 194IA(1)); Sec 393(1) (old 194IA(2)); Rule 26QB; TDS on each payment; Agriculture land
- Analysis
- How Sec 393(1) Table Sl. No. 3(i), Income-tax Act 2025 (old Sec 194IA) works step by step: Buyer pays token money ₹5L (Day 1). TDS: 1% of ₹5L = ₹5,000. Pay ₹4,95,000 to seller. Deposit ₹5,000 TDS to government. File Form 141 (old Form 26QB) within 30 days. Next milestone payment ₹20L (Day 60). TDS: ₹20,000. Same process. At registration: balance payment ₹25L. TDS: ₹25,000. Same process. Total TDS for ₹50L property: ₹50,000 (1%). Each payment requires separate Form 141 (old Form 26QB). What is included in "consideration": Base property price. Parking charges (if mentioned in agreement). Maintenance deposit (if part of agreement consideration). Club/amenity charges in agreement. All components mentioned in agreement = total consideration. If total consideration (all components) ≥ ₹50L: TDS applies on the full amount. If total consideration < ₹50L: no TDS even if individual apartment price seems high.
- Conclusion
- Check: is total property consideration (all components) ≥ ₹50L? If yes: Sec 393(1) Table Sl. No. 3(i) (old Sec 194IA) applies
- Collect seller's PAN, mandatory for Form 141 (old Form 26QB). Without seller PAN: TDS rate = 20%.
- Deduct 1% TDS from each payment to seller (token, milestones, registry payment)
- Pay net amount (99%) to seller, deposit 1% TDS online at incometax.gov.in or TIN-NSDL
