26 July 2025 When you’ve corrected a TDS challan with the wrong TAN and submitted supporting documents to the Income Tax Department, here’s how you can track the correction status and next steps:

✅ 1. Track Challan Correction Status
You can track the status of your corrected TDS challan via:

🔗 TIN-NSDL Challan Status Inquiry (TAN-based)

Enter your correct TAN

Enter the Challan Date Range and Bank BSR Code/Challan Serial No. (if available)

It will show whether the corrected challan has been linked to your TAN

✅ 2. Check TRACES for Default
Visit: 🔗 TRACES (TDS Reconciliation Analysis and Correction Enabling System)

Login using your correct TAN

Go to “Defaults → View Defaults”

If the TAN mismatch has been resolved, the default should disappear from this screen

If still pending, you may see the challan under “Unmatched Challans” or “PAN Errors”

✅ 3. File a Correction Return (if required)
Even after TAN correction by the department, you must file a correction statement (Form 26Q/24Q etc., as applicable) for the relevant quarter to reflect the updated challan correctly.

This is a mandatory step. Until you file the correction return, the updated challan may not be adjusted against deductees’ TDS entries.

🕒 How Long Does It Take?
TAN Correction via department: Usually 15–30 days after submission (may vary)

Update in TRACES after correction + correction return filing: Another 7–10 days after successful processing

📌 Summary of Steps:
Track corrected challan on TIN-NSDL

Check for defaults or unmatched challans on TRACES

File a correction TDS return for the quarter where error happened

Keep the acknowledgement from the department for record
