11 October 2022 After removal of the authorized banks from NSDL we are not able to download the TDS challan (CSI) file through NSDL OLTAS challan enquiry status for the months of July 2022 to September 2022 (TDS 2nd quarter). If it is the case, Please provide a solution to download challan CSI file as I have contacted the Income tax department, as per them challan csi files cannot be downloaded through the income tax site only challan pdf files are available on income tax portal.
Need it very urgently as the due date of filing TDS returns is on 31st October 2022.

19 July 2025 Regarding your issue with downloading the TDS Challan CSI file for FY 2022-23 (Q2) after the removal of authorized banks from NSDL, here’s what you can do:

Income Tax Portal Limitation:
As you rightly noted, the Income Tax Department portal only provides the challan PDF (acknowledgment) and not the CSI file anymore. This is a known change after certain banks stopped servicing NSDL OLTAS.
Download CSI File from Bank Portals:
Typically, the CSI file is generated by the bank through which the TDS payment is made. If you have made the TDS payments through a bank’s internet banking portal, you should log in to the respective bank’s portal and download the CSI file from there.
Contact Your Bank:
If you don’t find the CSI file in your internet banking account, contact the bank’s TDS service desk or help center. Banks usually provide the CSI file on request or via their TDS utility.
Alternative Approach:
If you have the Challan Identification Number (CIN) from the TDS challan, you can enter that while filing TDS returns.
In case you don’t have the CSI file, you may file the TDS return using the details available in the challan PDF and CIN.
Use TDS Return Preparation Utilities:
If you are using a TDS utility for return filing, check if it allows manual entry of challan details or upload of the challan PDF for the return. Many software allow this as a fallback.
Summary:

Income Tax Portal doesn’t provide CSI files anymore.
CSI file is generally provided by the bank through which payment was made.
Contact your bank’s TDS helpdesk or check internet banking to download the CSI file.
Use CIN and challan details for filing the return if CSI file is unavailable.
