27 July 2025
Hereโs what you should do step-by-step to fix the **challan error while generating FVU file** despite entering all challans correctly:
1. **Download the Challan CSI File from NSDL Website**
* Log in to your TIN NSDL account. * Go to the section where you can download the challan details (CSI file) for the relevant quarter.
2. **Load the Challan CSI File into the TDS Filing Software**
* Open your TDS software (like Taxmann eTDS or any other). * Import or upload the downloaded challan CSI file into the software.
3. **Run the Validation Utility (FVU)**
* Use the validation utility provided by NSDL or integrated into your TDS software. * The utility will verify if the challan details match with your TDS return data.
4. **Resolve Any Errors Displayed by the Validation Utility**
* If errors persist, carefully check for mismatches in challan details (like BSR code, challan number, date, or amount). * Correct any discrepancies in your TDS data or re-check challan entries.
5. **Generate the FVU File**
* After successful validation, generate the FVU file for submission.

**Common reasons for challan errors in FVU:**
* CSI file not downloaded or not uploaded before validation. * Mismatch in challan details entered and those in NSDL system. * Using outdated software or validation utility.
