The original TDS return was successfully filed under Section 140 (Form 26Q) and was initially accepted by the Income Tax Portal. However, upon checking the status on the TDS TRACES portal a few days later, I found that the return has been marked as "Rejected". To rectify the errors and submit a revised/correction return, I attempted to download the Consolidated (CONSO) File from the TRACES portal. Unfortunately, the portal is not allowing me to raise a request for the CONSO file due to the rejected status of the statement. What will do pls guide on this.

When a TDS return is marked as "Rejected" on TRACES and you cannot download the CONSO file, you cannot file a standard correction statement. Instead, you must prepare and file a fresh original TDS return correcting all errors, and upload it via the Income Tax e-Filing portal.
