The CBDT has issued a notification to amend the Form 24Q and Form 16 (TDS certificate in respect of salary income) with effect from May 12, 2019. As per the new format, every employer is required to report the detailed break-up of salary, exempt allowances and deductions claimed and allowed to an employee.
Further, the income-tax return forms for AY 2019-20 were also amended by CBDT in line with the changes made in Form 24Q and Form 16. The move has been made to cross check the information.
“Every employer is required to issue Form 16 to his employee within 15 days of the due date of filing of TDS return. As the due date of filing of TDS return in respect of has been extended to June 30, 2019, the due date of issue of Form 16 has consequently been extended by 10 days to July 10, 2019,”.

Time for filing will be extended sufficiently by CBDT. As it is, people have a tendency to do things at the last minute. If extended till December as somebody wants, you will crib next year that we have just filed once and its time to do again. Please change your mentality.

It appears TDS on pension has not yet been updated and therefore filing the return is becoming difficult since deduction on account of TDS by Banks and that available on their site are at variance. It has been updated only upto December, 2018
