The error “Line No 2 – Duplicate Statement” means a regular TDS return for Form 26Q (same TAN, FY, quarter) was already accepted by the system. The TDS portal does not allow filing more than one regular statement for the same period. eicbma.com What to do next: Verify if a regular return was already filed by checking your submission history or TRACES. If yes, and you're making corrections, file a 'Correction Statement (Y return)' using the correct format and token numbers.
