  Hi Sabby, Your income will be considered as business income and you can claim relevant expenses you have incurred during earning this income. On Google Adsense no TDS is required to be deducted by Google, however, you can need to pay Tax on your total income.

Sir!

I have 3.5 lakhs/annum salary. My employer is rejecting to give me Form-16 as there’s no TDS deduction and my salary is less than 5 lakhs. But If I want to apply for a loan or travel abroad, form-16 may help alot. So, how can I handle this situation ?

Also to file IT returns, do I need form-16 as mandatory ?

  Since their is tax deduction,employer may not issue form 16. Take a salary certificate, It suffice your purpose.
