Hey! About your RPU 4.3 and FVU 7.8 issue where the statistical report shows wrong data but no error report is generated — this is a problem some users have faced.
Here’s what you can try/check: Java Version: Ensure you’re running Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version between 1.6 and 1.8 (update 60). Newer Java versions sometimes cause issues with RPU/FVU.
Date Format: Confirm the date format is DD/MM/YYYY as required in RPU.
Number Format: Check that amounts do not have commas or special characters; only numeric values.
PAN Format: PANs should be exactly 10 characters long and valid.
Challan Serial Numbers: Make sure challan serial numbers are correctly entered and unique.
RPU vs Protean Utility: Try preparing your return using the Protean (NSDL) Return Preparation Utility instead of RPU 4.3. Some users have reported better accuracy and bug fixes there.
Additional suggestions: Clear Cache and Temp Files: Sometimes leftover temp files cause display or report glitches.
Re-download Latest FVU & RPU: Make sure you have the very latest versions from NSDL or TRACES portals.
Validate on Another System: If possible, try preparing the file on a different machine to isolate system-specific issues.
About the Statistical Report accuracy: The HTML statistical report generated by FVU is based on the data fed in the RPU. If the data in RPU has any hidden formatting or data input issues, it might reflect incorrectly.
No error report means it doesn’t find fatal format errors but the data itself might be incorrect or mismatched internally.
Have others experienced this? Some filers have confirmed similar issues and found switching to Protean’s RPU fixed the statistical report problem.
If you want, you can share a sanitized version of your file (no confidential data), and I can help look at why the report data is off.
