This query is : Resolved

By mistake I filed TDS return for Qtr 4 as NIL (i.e.nil deductee & nil challan).
but now I have found that 7 transactions on which TDS was deducted & challans were deposited.
Please tell me how can I revise my Qtr 4 return ?
I am unable to download the file from TRACES because there was no deductee record or challan in original return.
Please... please ... help me....!!!

No worries, I got you on this! Here’s how you can **revise your TDS return for Q4** after mistakenly filing it as NIL:
---
### Step-by-step process to revise your TDS return on TRACES:
1. **Log in to TRACES portal** ([https://www.tdscpc.gov.in](https://www.tdscpc.gov.in))
* Use your TAN and password.
2. **Go to the “Statement Correction” option:**
* On the dashboard, find and click **“Correction Statement”** or **“File Correction Statement”** (for the relevant quarter and financial year).
3. **Download the original return file:**
* Since you filed NIL return earlier, the original return will have no records, so this step can be skipped or you'll get an empty file.
4. **Prepare the revised return file:**
* Using your TDS return preparation software, prepare a **correction statement file** with the actual deductee details and challan details for those 7 transactions.
* Ensure you mark the file as a **correction return** for the right quarter and financial year.
5. **Upload the correction return:**
* Upload the prepared correction statement file on TRACES under “Correction Statement” option.
* Validate and submit.
6. **Submit and generate acknowledgment:**
* After successful upload, TRACES will provide an acknowledgment.
* This replaces your NIL return with the correct details.
---
### Important notes:
* You **cannot revise a NIL return by downloading the original return** because there are no records. You must prepare a new correction return with all actual deductee and challan details.
* Ensure that the challan numbers and amounts match exactly the deposited TDS.
* The correction return can only be filed **before the due date** or before the completion of assessment.
