Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

A user is facing difficulties adjusting a Rs 120 TDS short payment default on the new TRACES portal, having already paid the differential challan. They found that the challan correction/tagging option isn't available on the new portal, and the old portal is no longer an option for FY 2026-27 onwards. They are seeking guidance on the correct procedure to tag the new challan against the default on the updated TRACES website.

11 August 2026 I have a short payment default of Rs 120 in TDS return and have already paid the differential challan . Now I want to tag/adjust this challan against the default on TRACES.

The new TRACES portal (under the Income-tax Act 2025) does not seem to have the challan correction/tagging option for this. And for FY 2026-27 onwards, this correction can no longer be done on the old TRACES portal either.

Has anyone faced this? What is the correct process now to adjust a new challan against a short payment default for FY 2026-27 on the new TRACES website? Any specific tab/menu I'm missing, or is this facility not yet live?

11 August 2026 To adjust a differential challan for a short payment default, log in to the TRACES portal, navigate to Defaults > Request for Correction, choose the Online correction category, and use the Tag/Replace Challan or Online Challan Correction option to map the newly paid challan to the corresponding shortfall.
