Cant amend a 26QB

01 January 2026 Hi everyone,

I’m trying to amend Form 26QB on the TRACES website and running into a strange issue.

• I submit the amendment request.
• I get a confirmation saying the request has been successfully submitted.
• When I check the Request Status after about 10–15 minutes, it shows “Declined.”
• The PAN and Acknowledgement Number entered are correct.

This is happening for multiple Form 26QB filings that were filed incorrectly and now need amendments.

I’m trying to understand:
• What are the common reasons for an amendment request getting declined after successful submission?
• Is this usually due to a validation issue, timing issue, or a known TRACES system bug?
• Are there any specific checks or prerequisites I should verify before re-submitting?
• Is there a recommended workaround, like waiting longer, re-filing at a certain time, or using a different correction type?

Any guidance from someone who has dealt with this recently would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance.
