28 July 2025 Hey! If you're unable to generate the CSI file in the RPU (Return Preparation Utility) or having trouble giving the path or validating it, here’s a quick checklist to help you troubleshoot:

1. **RPU Version:**

* Make sure you are using the latest version of the RPU software. Older versions may have bugs or compatibility issues.

2. **Java Installation:**

* RPU needs a proper Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed on your computer. Check if Java is installed and updated.

3. **Correct Path:**

* When asked for a path to save or load the CSI file, make sure you are selecting a valid folder location with proper write permissions (avoid special characters in folder names).

4. **File Naming:**

* The CSI file should have a `.csi` extension. Ensure you’re not changing the extension manually or giving a wrong name.

5. **Validation Issues:**

* For validation errors, double-check that all mandatory fields in your TDS return are filled correctly and that challan details match with deductee details.

6. **Run as Administrator:**

* Try running the RPU software as Administrator (right-click on the RPU icon and select ‘Run as Administrator’), sometimes permission issues cause problems.

7. **Error Messages:**

* If there’s a specific error message during validation, please share it. That will help identify the exact issue.

If you want, I can guide you step-by-step on how to generate the CSI file or validate the return. Let me know!
