Form 10BD-Schema Validation error

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

Form 10BD validation rules have changed for the current FY. Entries like 'PANNOTAVBL' are no longer accepted in the Unique Identification Number field. Donors must provide a valid prescribed ID such as Aadhaar, Passport, Voter ID or other allowed identification to avoid schema validation errors.

28 May 2026 While filing form 10BD up to last FY for cases not having PAN we use to upload CSV by writing PANN0TAVBL in Unique Identification Number tab. But for current FY if we are uploading CSV file it throws error for same.

Is there a way to solve this error or we need to collect any one available from drop down in form 10BD schema from donor?

28 May 2026 To clear the schema validation error, do not write text strings like PANNOTAVBL. Instead, update the "Unique Identification Id Type" column to match an available alternative ID (like Aadhaar or Voter ID) and provide that ID number, or remove the entry entirely if the donor does not require an 80G certificate.

28 May 2026 For the current financial year, the Income Tax Department's portal has updated its validation rules for Form 10BD, and "PANN0TAVBL" is no longer a valid entry in the Unique Identification Number field. The system now strictly enforces the collection of one of the prescribed identification numbers to ensure the transparency of donations and to prevent "anonymous" donations under Section 115BBC.
