Hello everyone,
You might be facing below issue while you are requesting for online Correction on TRACES for FY prior to FY 2011-12
"Online correction on TRACES is not enabled for the requested statement. Kindly file correction through NSDL and the subsequent correction can be filed on TRACES "
The reason behind this error is, earlier to FY 2011-12 TDS returns database was maintained with NSDL and from FY 2011-12 onwards, TRACES – TDS CPCis maintaining and processing TDS Returns, some of the data prior to FY 2011-12 was not migrated into TRACES – TDS CPC.
For the period earlier to FY 2011-12, TRACES does not have copy of the returns filed in it’s database. So, it will not allow us to file correction statement online as there is no database of original return filed for respective FY.So, If we file correction statement now through NSDL TIN FC, then data will be migrated into TRACESand subsequent correction request can be filed on TRACES.
And Addition/deletion of Challans through Offline RPU utility has been disabled, Addition/deletion of challans can be done through Online correction only.
So, for FY earlier to FY 2011-12, first we needs to file Correction statement through NSDL TIN FC and once it is processed successfully we can request for Online correction andChallans can be altered accordingly.
Steps to file Correction Statement
1. First Step is downloading the CONSO file from TRACES website.
You can download the CONSO file from Statements/ Payments > Request for Conso file > Select FY, Quarter and Form
2. Now, open this CONSO file in RPU and make some minor correction in Address and file correction statement through TIN FC or Income Tax portal.
Note: While placing a request for CONSO file, if you see the below error, it means No Regular statement TDS Return has been filed for that period and you have file to file a Fresh TDS Return for that period.
No Data Available. Please check after 3 working days from the date of filing of the statement at TIN-FC
