Many of us during filing of TDS returns or rectifications on the traces portal have faced the issue as shown in the image.
This article will guide you to 100% guaranteed resolution of the issue faced quite frequently. So, following is the list of causes of the error. If these are rectified then this issue will be resolved and the emsigner will be up and running on the traces portal:
