a return was filed wrongly on 13th may 2015.
by mistake the html error message was overlooked. error code was t-fv-3141 (challan details mentioned in stmt not present in challan file imported). since the csi file was incompletely downloaded, we tried to revise the return by requesting for conso file. the site took us to 'request for online correction', where we added the challan to the statement. we submitted the correction statement, but now that is also showing as processed with defaults. please tell me why and how to proceed further, asap.

28 July 2025 The error **T-FV-3141** — "challan details mentioned in statement not present in challan file imported" — happens when the challan details in your TDS return statement do not match or are missing in the challan file (CSI file) that you imported/uploaded.

---

### What likely happened:

* Your original return had missing or incomplete challan details due to an incomplete CSI file.
* When you tried to correct by adding the missing challan through the online correction, it didn't match the challan data already available with the system.
* The correction statement was accepted but processed **with defaults**, meaning the system detected discrepancies it could not auto-correct, leading to defaults/demand raised on you.

---

### How to proceed:

1. **Check Challan details carefully:**

* Confirm the exact Challan Number, Date, BSR Code, and Amount you have used in your return and correction statement.
* Make sure these details are accurate and **exactly match** the entries in the bank challan.

2. **Download and verify your CSI file:**

* Download the latest correct CSI file from TRACES for your TAN and FY.
* Ensure all challans deposited for the relevant period are present in that CSI file.

3. **File a Correction Statement:**

* Using the correct CSI file with all challan details, prepare a correction statement in your TDS software.
* Upload the correction and verify that the challan details are consistent.

4. **If Online Correction not working:**

* Sometimes, online correction for challans can be tricky.
* Instead of online correction, file a **correction return through the RPU software** or your TDS return utility with all correct details.
* Upload the correction statement file (.fvu) on TIN-NSDL or TRACES portal.

5. **Contact NSDL/TIN Helpdesk:**

* If defaults persist or the system still processes with defaults, raise a grievance via TRACES or contact the TIN-NSDL helpdesk.
* Provide your TAN, return details, challan details, and explain the situation.

---

### Important tips:

* Keep all supporting challan documents ready for verification.
* Defaults raised due to such errors can be disputed by filing the correct revised return and submitting a rectification request.
* Penalty or interest may be levied, but if you correct the mistake early, you can avoid further complications.
