Form 16 Part A and Part B contain your salary, TDS and deduction details — but the layout is dense. Pitara's Form 16 reader online free India extracts text from your PDF using pdf.js (nothing uploaded to a server) and shows plain-English summary cards for gross salary, TDS and common sections like 80C and HRA.
Text PDF vs scanned Form 16
Employer portal downloads are usually text-based and work best. Scanned image PDFs may not extract text — use our OCR PDF tool first, then retry.
