Changes in Form 16 for FY25: What salaried individuals need to know
As the tax season rolls in, salaried individuals will notice a refreshed look in their Form 16, the key document used for filing income tax returns. Though the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) had already notified the revised format through a salary circular on February 20, its impact will now be felt in full as companies begin issuing Form 16s for the financial year 2024-25 (assessment year 2025-26). Form 16, issued under Section 203 of the Income-tax Act, is a TDS certificate that outlines the total income paid and tax deducted by an employer during the year. With the latest revisions, the government aims to make salary disclosures more transparent, help taxpayers avoid filing mistakes, and promote smoother reconciliation with other tax records. According to Tarun Garg, director, Deloitte India, these updates offer greater clarity to employees and simplify the overall tax filing process. What's new in Form 16? Garg highlights several significant changes introduced in the updated format: · Tax regime mentioned upfront: The chosen tax regime (old vs. new) is now clearly stated in Part B of Form 16. · Inclusion of Form 12BAA details: TDS and TCS amounts disclosed through Form 12BAA by employees are now considered in the final tax calculation. · Clearer salary structure: Gross salary is itemised, and perquisites are now reported separately via Form 12BA. · Detailed deductions and exemptions: Tax-free salary components like House Rent Allowance (HRA) are listed distinctly. Deductions under Sections 80C, 80D, and 80E are itemised, and a new section, 80CCH for Agniveer Corpus Fund contributions has been added. What does this mean for salaried taxpayers? 'The revised Form 16 provides a comprehensive snapshot of one's salary, deductions, and tax computation,' Garg explains. 'This makes ITR filing more accurate and reduces errors. It also helps in detecting cases where excess TDS may have been deducted,' he adds. More responsibility for employers Employers will also need to adjust their reporting. 'Form 24Q has been updated, introducing Column 388A in Annexure-II to capture TDS or TCS by others,' says Garg. This change ensures uniform reporting across Form 16, Form 24Q, and the ITR. Reconciliation simplified, but not automatic While the revised Form 16 aligns better with Form 26AS and AIS, Garg cautions that salaried individuals must still cross-verify all data manually before filing their returns.

Hyundai shares soar 7% to surpass IPO price, hit new all-time high amid high volumes
Shares of Hyundai Motor India surged 6.8% on Monday to hit a fresh all-time high of Rs 1,986.60 on the BSE, surpassing its listing day high of Rs 1,970 recorded on October 22, 2024, amid heavy trade volumes. Around 12:20 pm today, 90,000 shares of the company were traded on the BSE, with a total turnover of Rs 17.95 crore. At the time, the company's market capitalisation stood at Rs 1.56 lakh crore. The rally in the stock may also be on the back of a combination of the following factors. RBI's repo rate cut may benefit auto demand One of the broader macroeconomic factors possibly aiding auto stocks was the recent move by the RBI's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC). On June 6, RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra announced a 50 basis point cut in the central bank's policy repo rate, which came in above analysts' expectations. The rate cut is expected to bring down borrowing costs and lower EMIs, potentially boosting demand for vehicles—a sentiment that often reflects positively on auto manufacturers such as Hyundai. Hyundai gains ground in India's growing EV market In terms of sectoral developments, Hyundai's growing traction in the electric vehicle (EV) segment may also be contributing to its momentum. According to a recent note by Equirus Securities, electric car sales in May 2025 saw a 55% year-on-year growth, with Hyundai's e-Creta among the key contributors alongside new model launches from M&M and JSW MG Motors. The company has been instrumental in increasing EV penetration, which rose to 4.1% in May 2025 from 2.6% in May 2024. Hyundai is now seen as one of the leading players in India's EV shift, intensifying competition in a segment where Tata Motors had previously dominated. Renewable energy investment announced In a separate corporate development, Hyundai Motor India on Friday disclosed that it had released Rs 165.8 crore as the first tranche of investment for acquiring a 26.13% stake in FPEL TN Wind Farm Private Ltd, a renewable energy project by Fourth Partner Energy. The investment is part of a broader agreement signed in November 2024, under which Hyundai committed to invest Rs 380.5 crore in one or more tranches. The move signals the company's commitment to sustainable operations and long-term energy cost optimisation, although the company has not yet commented on any direct financial impact. This development has been seen as 'neutral to positive' for the company in the short term by domestic brokerage firm SBI Securities.
