As you had neither deducted TDS nor paid in FT 2011-12 therefore you need not require to revise TDS Return.
You have to include it in TDS Return for FY 2012-13 in that you will have to mention Date of Credit as Actual Date of Bill/Payment whichever is earlier & Date of Payment of TDS is current date. So that system will automatically identify that this TDS pertains to FY 2010-11.
Hope this had clarified your doubt.
Thanks Chirag M. Haraniya

Got it! You want to pay TDS for FY 2011-12 but you are doing it in FY 2012-13, and the TDS return system is **not accepting the previous year date** while filing the return. Here's how to handle it:
---
### Key points:
* **You cannot file or revise TDS return for FY 2011-12 now** because the system doesnโt allow filing for a past financial year once it is closed. * Instead, you **report this delayed TDS payment in the current year (FY 2012-13) return**. * While filing FY 2012-13 TDS return, mention the **Date of Deduction / Date of Credit as the actual date when the expense was incurred or TDS was deductible** (even if it falls in FY 2011-12). * The **Date of Payment of TDS will be the actual date when you deposited the TDS (in FY 2012-13)**. * This way, the system will link the TDS deduction to the earlier FY based on the date of deduction/credit, even though you are filing it now.
---
### What to do practically:
1. **File TDS return for FY 2012-13 as usual.** 2. For the particular deductee entries where TDS was deducted late for FY 2011-12:
* Use **Date of Deduction** or **Date of Credit** field as the date in FY 2011-12 when TDS should have been deducted. * Use **Date of Payment** as the actual payment date in FY 2012-13. 3. Upload the file and submit.
---
### Why this works:
Income tax rules allow reporting of **delayed TDS payments** in the current year but linked to the earlier year via deduction date.

### If system still rejects:
* Ensure you are using the **correct format and software version** for TDS return. * Sometimes using updated return preparation utilities (like TDS Return Preparation Utility or TRACES portal) helps. * Contact your TDS service provider or IT dept for software upgrade. * If the problem persists, reach out to **TDS CPC helpdesk** or **NSDL helpline** for technical support.
