28 March 2017 U can't download form 24Q or 26Q. U can download form 16 or 16A, for TDS certificate. If u wanna details of TDS return filed then u must demand the from the person who prepared ur TDS return.

30 March 2017 U may see that from the software through which the return is prepared. And if there is a demand then u must know the actual reason for the demand, which is mentioned there.

30 March 2017 There is no record in software. Return was filed through some online software.

28 July 2025 Here’s what you can do to handle this situation:

### You want to check the **24Q TDS return** filed by your previous employer (AY 2013-14), but:

* You can’t download 24Q or 26Q returns directly from the income tax portals.
* You don’t have access to the software or the filed return copy.
* There’s a demand notice, possibly due to incorrect PAN or data mismatch.

---

### Steps to Confirm & Resolve:

1. **Check Form 26AS:**

* Ask the employee (or yourself if you’re the deductee) to check Form 26AS on the Income Tax e-Filing portal for AY 2013-14.
* Form 26AS shows TDS credited against your PAN for that year.
* If PAN was incorrect in the return, TDS won’t reflect in your Form 26AS, causing demand.

2. **Contact Previous Employer or TDS Deductor:**

* Request them to provide the **TDS return acknowledgment or details**.
* They can download the filed TDS return from the TRACES portal using their TAN and password.
* They should also check for any mismatch and rectify by filing a correction statement if PAN was wrongly entered.

3. **Use TRACES Portal (if you have TAN access):**

* If you have the TAN and password of the previous employer or deductor, log in at [TRACES](https://www.tdscpc.gov.in/app/login.xhtml).
* Download the 24Q file or TDS return details for the concerned year.
* Identify mistakes (like wrong PAN).

4. **Rectification & Demand Resolution:**

* The employer/deductor should file a correction statement to fix wrong PAN or other errors.
* Once corrected, the demand should get withdrawn automatically.
* Alternatively, if you are the deductee, you can file your ITR and claim credit for TDS reflected in Form 26AS (only if correct).

---

### If none of the above is accessible:

* You can approach the **Assessing Officer** with proof of TDS deduction and request help.
* Or use the **Grievance Redressal Portal** of Income Tax to report this issue.

---

If you want, I can help draft a formal email or notice for the previous employer requesting TDS return details or correction.

Would you like help with that? Or need guidance on checking Form 26AS?
