I have heard that, from the Assessment year 2007-08 onwards, the employer has to give digitally signed statement of tax deducted at source which shall be treated as Form-16.

If tax has not deducted at source, you may approach your previous employer to give a formal certificate stating as follows: ' Tax had not been deducted at salary for the reason that he/ she is coming below the tax ceiling income and hence there is no need of giving such a certificate'.

After getting the above certificate, you may attach it with your income tax return form.
