has made it compulsory for the Banking and other companies to issue form 16A for TDS w.e.f 01-04-2011 by downloading it from the TIN website online so as to eliminate the mis-matches in the form 26AS and the form 16A, which will facilitate the refund process.

Earlier before the issue of said circular the deductee could not force the deductor to revise his TDS return if there was any mismatch between their 26AS and Form 16A. It is to be noted that issuing of Form 16A to the deductee is mandatory for every deductor under Rule 31(3) of Income Tax Rules.
