Form 16 cannot usually be downloaded directly using only a PAN number
Ask your employer or former employer to provide Form 16
Log in to your employer’s payroll or HR portal if they offer Form 16 download
Check the income tax e-filing portal if your employer has uploaded Form 16 details there
Use your PAN to sign in only if you already have access to the relevant employer or tax portal account
Verify your PAN is linked to your salary records and tax deductions
Contact the HR or payroll department if you cannot find the download option
Download the PDF or salary tax statement from the employer portal if available
Save the downloaded Form 16 for filing your income tax return
