A user encountered a validation error (T-FV-4336) when revising Form 27Q, specifically regarding the NRI deductee's contact number, which was initially left blank. Despite trying various formats for the US mobile number and even an Indian number, the error persisted. The issue was eventually resolved by deleting a default '0' present in the deductee contact number field within the RPU utility, allowing the validation to succeed.

I originally filed form 27Q without filling NRI deductee's contact number since it was not mandatory in the present case(rates mentioned in IT Act will be applicable for TDS). There was no problem with validation then and I filed the return successfully. Now I need to revise the return due to inadvertent mistake in choosing date of deduction.
When I corrected the date in utility and tried to validate it, it is showing error 'T-FV-4336-provide valid value under Contact No. of deductee'. Since deductee's number is US mobile number, I tried all possible combinations- with and without the country code. But none of it helps. Error still persists.
Is it necessary that only NRI deductee's phone number has to be mentioned in that column? Can an Indian number be provided instead? Can someone please guide.

Yes sir. I tried providing Indian number also. But it was still showing it as error while validating. I somehow figured it out. By default, in the RPU, there was '0' in the deductee contact no. I just deleted it. Though utility warned that it is an invalid value, I still proceeded with validation and this time it was successful. Thanks for replying.
