ETtech Tata Consultancy Services ( TCS ) has fastracked the generation of Form 16 documents for its over 600,000 strong employee base, providing the documents as early as 26th of April, said senior executives. The document, which is usually generated by June, was processed early to enhance “employee experience” and the technology prcesses used have the potential to be commercialised for customers, Lakshminarayanan GS, Deputy Chief Finance Officer, TCS told ET.

The solution to fastrack Form 16 was co-created by TCS teams across Payroll Finance Team, Internal IT solutions and dedicated technology team for internal finance operations, said Lakshminarayanan. “This is one area which has the potential of being commercialized also. Our first focus was to give a better employee experience, it is possible for us to take it as a solution to our sales teams also, but that is something that we will be doing with going forward,” he said.

Salaried individuals can obtain Form 16 on or before the 15th of June of the following year by the employer, immediately after the financial year in which the tax is deducted. If any employer delays or fails to issue Form 16 by the specified date, then the employer is liable to pay a penalty. The process was initiated as early as September 2022 by the TCS internal payroll team and was entirely executed through in-house expertise and digitisation, said Ashwini Kennedy, Head Global Employee Services- Corporate Finance.
