About Form 16 (TDS Certificate)
What is the Form 16 PDF password?
The most common format is PAN in lowercase + date of birth in DDMMYYYY (e.g., abcde1234f01011990). If that does not work, try PAN in uppercase only (e.g., ABCDE1234F). The exact format depends on which TDS software your employer uses.
Why does the Form 16 PDF password vary by employer?
Form 16 PDFs are generated by the employer's payroll/TDS software — Saral TDS, Winman, TDSMAN, Computax, etc. Each software uses a slightly different password format. The most common are PAN lowercase + DOB, and PAN uppercase only.
My Form 16 password is not working — what should I try?
Try in this order: (1) PAN lowercase + DDMMYYYY date of birth, (2) PAN uppercase only, (3) Date of birth DDMMYYYY only, (4) Contact your HR or payroll team — they can confirm the exact format for your company's TDS software.
