Dear Experts, Please solve my issue We recently filed our TDS Return for Tax Year 2026-27, Quarter 1 (Form 140) on 23-07-2026. Subsequently, on 25-07-2026, we received an email from CPC-TDS informing us that our original Form 140 statement for TY 2026-27, Q1, bearing Token Number: 77000040xxxx680, has been processed without any default under Section 399 of the Income-tax Act, 2025. However, when we log in to the New TRACES Portal to download the TDS Certificate, the Statement Status continues to display "Pending for Processing." Because of this, we are unable to proceed with downloading the TDS certificates.

This issue is caused by a sync lag between the CPC-TDS processing system and the TRACES portal. Since the confirmation email verifies processing without default, allow 24–48 hours for TRACES database tables to sync, after which the status will update to "Processed," enabling Form 16A downloads.
