Cannot Open the Row to Add Challan – What to Do?
If you're not able to click the row or add a challan in the correction file on TRACES, here’s what you should check:
🔍 Step-by-Step Fixes:
Use Correct Utility:
You must use the latest RPU (Return Preparation Utility) and FVU (File Validation Utility) from the TIN-NSDL or Protean website.
Download from: https://www.tin-nsdl.com or https://www.protean-tinpan.com
Use Consolidated File Only:
Make sure you are not trying to modify the Justification Report — it is for reference only.
The file to use for correction is Consolidated TDS File (Conso File).
Import Correct File in RPU:
Open the RPU.
Select "Correction".
Import the Conso File (unzipped and password opened).
Now you should be able to add challan and do other corrections.
Check Type of Correction Allowed:
If the TDS return has already consumed all the challans, ensure there’s scope to add new challan.
If not, you may need to revise with an "Add Challan" correction type explicitly.
🚨 Recent Procedural Updates (FY 2024–25):
Yes, TRACES and NSDL platforms have undergone UI and backend changes. Some corrections are now more strictly validated, and certain actions may only be permitted through:
Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)
Updated TRACES user rights
Also, ensure:
You are a registered and authorized person for TDS correction.
You’ve enabled JavaScript if using online tools.
Your browser is updated (preferably Chrome or Edge).
