You can not revise the TDS Return without downloading Consolidated files. It is always easy to download the Consolidated files.
You must write the Pan no. of the deductees as mentioned in the challan detail you are filing. You may try 2 or 3 different challans. Its sure the Challan details would match. Plz fill the challan details carefully
when i try to download conso file,traces showing mismatched challan in the original statement filed,this is because i put challan date as 7/01/2014 instead of 7/01/2015 in TDS return,when i check with online correction their is no option for changing wrong date ,with out correcting mismatch unable to download conso file?

The issue you're facing is a common one with TDS return corrections on the TRACES portal, especially when there is a mismatch of challan date entered wrongly in the original return.
Key points: You cannot revise TDS return without downloading the consolidated file (CONSO file). TRACES portal does not allow direct correction of challan date once entered. Because of the incorrect challan date, you get a "mismatched challan" error and cannot download the CONSO file to file the revised return. Possible Workarounds: Request for Correction on TRACES Portal: You mentioned this option exists but does not allow changing the challan date. This is true; it allows correction only for certain fields like challan amount or BSR code but not the date. File a Manual Correction Request to NSDL/Traces Helpdesk: You may need to write to the TRACES helpdesk or NSDL support explaining the issue. Request them to manually correct the challan date in their system to allow you to download the CONSO file. Contact details for TRACES helpdesk can be found on their portal. Usually, an email or phone call explaining the problem helps. File a Complaint via Grievance/Contact Support: Use the grievance redressal or contact support feature on the TRACES portal. Provide detailed information: PAN, TAN, challan number, wrong challan date entered, and request correction. Alternate Route - File Revised Return for Next Quarter: If the above steps take too long, as a last resort, consider adjusting the error in the next quarter's TDS return to reflect the correct challan information, but this is less ideal and may attract notices. Summary: Step Description 1. Use "Request for Correction" Correct all other details except challan date 2. Contact TRACES Helpdesk Request manual correction of challan date 3. Use grievance portal Explain issue and seek resolution 4. File revised return once fixed Download CONSO file after correction, then revise
