Form 16A is also a TDS Certificate. Form 16A is applicable for TDS on Income Other than Salary while Form 16 is for only salary income.
For example, a Form 16A shall be issued to you when the bank deducts TDS on interest credited on fixed deposits or for TDS deducted on insurance commission, or for TDS deducted on your rent receipts.

Likewise, form 16, form 16A also has details of the name and address of deductor/deductee, PAN/TAN details, challan details of TDS deposited. It also has details of income you have earned and the TDS deducted and deposited on such income.
All details that are there in Form 16A are available on Form 26AS. This can be used to file your return. However, the same is not in the case of Form 16. Details of Form 16 that are available in Form 26AS are only TDS deducted by the employer.
