What gets hidden on your form 16

  • PAN (yours and the employer's)
  • Employer TAN (optional)
  • Your name and address
  • Certificate number (optional)
  • Salary and tax amounts (optional)
  • Signature (optional)

Ticked fields are covered as soon as your file opens. Tick or untick any of them, or draw a box over anything else.

How it works

  1. Drop a photo, scan or PDF of your form 16 above.
  2. Its text is read on your device, and the fields you ticked are covered with solid boxes.
  3. Check the result, then download a safe copy. The file is checked again for anything still readable.

Questions

Who asks for Form 16?

Lenders, landlords and new employers often do. Hide what they don't need, such as your address or exact salary, but keep whatever they asked to verify.

Does it work on the TRACES PDF?

Yes, and on photos or scans of a printed copy. Multi-page PDFs up to 50 pages are supported.
