Can I sign the Form 16 using DSC offline and publish it using Zoho Payroll?

Yes, you can download the complete Form 16 files from Zoho Payroll and sign it offline using a digital signature certificate. However, you cannot directly upload these files to Zoho Payroll and publish them. So, here’s a workaround for you to upload and publish it using Zoho Payroll.

• Compress all the signed Form 16 files into a single ZIP file. Ensure that all the files have the correct PAN as file names.

• In the Zoho Payroll Form 16 tab, add the following line as a part of the URL: &upload_signed_file=true and hit the enter key.

• So, after adding the above line, the URL should look like: https://payroll.zoho.in/#/taxes-and-forms/form16?fiscal_year=2021&upload_signed_file=true

• Next, click the Upload Signed Form in the Form 16 page and upload the signed Part B files to the application.

  

• Then, click the Publish button to make it available to the employees.
