Step-by-Step Guide
Never used a tool like this before? No problem. Follow these steps exactly and you will have your full tax picture in under 2 minutes.
Your employer is required to give you Form 16 every year by 15 June. Find it in your HRMS portal (Darwinbox, Keka, Greythr), HR email, or ask your payroll team directly.
Drag and drop your PDF onto the upload box, or click inside to browse files. Once selected, the filename appears with a green icon — that means it is ready to analyze.
If your PDF is password protected, an amber password box appears automatically. Try your PAN in uppercase (ABCDE1234F) or date of birth in DDMMYYYY format.
Click the purple button. The tool reads your Form 16, extracts all figures, runs tax calculations, and prepares your full results. Do not close the tab while loading.
After analysis, the complete dashboard appears full-width — Tax Health Score, salary charts, refund or tax due, regime recommendation, missed deductions, and next steps all in one view.
Click Download in your results to save a plain text summary. Share it with your CA or use the numbers when filing your ITR on incometax.gov.in.
PDF showing an error: Upload a proper Form 16 PDF — not a scanned image. Download a fresh copy from your HRMS portal.
Password not working: Try your PAN in uppercase first. If that fails, try your date of birth in DDMMYYYY format.
All numbers showing zero: Your Form 16 may be image-based (scanned printout). Ask HR for the digital version downloaded from TRACES or HRMS.

Quick Answer
The PaisaPilotAI AI Form 16 Analyzer is a free tool that reads your Form 16 PDF and instantly extracts gross salary, HRA exemption, deductions under 80C and 80D, TDS deducted, and net tax payable. It calculates whether you are eligible for a refund or owe additional tax, recommends the better tax regime (Old or New), and identifies missed deductions — all in under 30 seconds. No account required. Works with Form 16 from TCS, Infosys, Wipro, HCL, Cognizant, Accenture, and all other TRACES-compliant employers.
Form 16 is a TDS certificate issued by your employer under Section 203 of the Income Tax Act, 1961. It has two parts: Part A shows quarter-wise TDS deposited, and Part B shows your full salary breakup, exemptions, and deductions under Chapter VI-A.
Many employees receive a combined Form 16 PDF but are unsure what each part contains. Here is a clear breakdown:
Part A — TDS Summary
Part B — Salary Breakup
After reviewing your Form 16, see how your salary compares to typical take-home calculations for your CTC bracket:
Form 16 is a TDS certificate issued by your employer under Section 203 of the Income Tax Act. It shows your annual salary, total tax deducted, HRA exemption, and all deductions your employer processed. It is the main document you need to file your ITR accurately.
Yes, completely safe. Your PDF is processed entirely in-memory on our secure servers and discarded immediately after analysis. We never write your file to disk, never log personal tax data, and never share your information with any third party.
We handle password-protected PDFs automatically. If your PDF needs a password, we will ask for it inline. Most employer-issued Form 16s use your PAN in uppercase (e.g., ABCDE1234F) or date of birth in DDMMYYYY format as the password.
