27 July 2025 About your TDS challan mismatch issue:

1. **You received a demand notice because you reported the same amount for two different challans (May and June), causing one to show a shortfall.**

2. **How to fix:**

* You need to **file a Revised TDS Return** for that quarter (Q1).
* In the revised return, correct the challan details properly, showing the correct amounts for May and June separately.
* While filing the revised return, you will have to use the **corrected consolidated (CONSO) file** downloaded from the TRACES portal for that quarter.
* Yes, you need to generate and upload the **correct FVU file** after making corrections (contrary to the earlier advice), because the revised return must be validated with the new FVU file.

3. **Regarding digital signature:**

* You **can file online corrections (revised returns) on TRACES without a digital signature** if the total TDS amount is less than Rs. 20,000 for the quarter.
* For higher amounts, a DSC (Digital Signature Certificate) is generally required.
* Also, the deductor can use **offline utilities** to prepare the revised return and upload it on the TDS portal.

4. **In your case, since excess TDS in May balances short in June:**

* This should be correctly reflected in the revised return with the appropriate challan amounts.
* The system will then reconcile the amounts properly and avoid the mismatch.

---

**Summary:**

* File Revised Return for Q1.
* Download CONSO file from TRACES for Q1.
* Correct challan entries and amounts.
* Generate new FVU file and upload.
* You can file without DSC if TDS amount is below threshold.
* This will fix the mismatch and help clear the demand notice.
