27 July 2025 Hey Mukesh Bhaiya!

The error **T-FV-1041** basically means that your TDS Return file is missing the **Challan Input File (CSI file)**. The system expects the CSI file to verify the details of the challans you have reported, especially when you have non-nil challans (i.e., actual tax deposited).

### What you need to do:

* When filing **Form 24Q** (or other TDS returns), ensure that you upload **both**:

* The main **TDS return file** (usually `.txt` file containing deductee details),
* **AND** the **Challan Input File (CSI file)** which contains details of the tax challans deposited (challan number, date, amount, etc.).

The error is triggered when you file only the TDS return file without the corresponding challan details file.

### Steps to fix:

1. Generate the CSI file from your TDS return software or system.
2. Upload the CSI file along with the main return file during the filing process.
3. Validate the files and then submit.

If you are using offline utility, the software typically generates both files together; make sure you upload both.

**Summary:**
Upload the **Challan Input File (CSI)** along with your 24Q return to fix the T-FV-1041 error.
