This error T-FV-3169 means that the sum of all amounts reported under TDS/TCS (like interest, fees, tax deducted, etc.) is greater than the total deposit amount reported in the challan or transfer voucher in your TDS return.
How to fix this error: Check the challan deposit amount: Verify the exact total tax deposit amount from the challan or transfer voucher.
Verify the deductee annexure details: Sum up all TDS/TCS amounts (tax deducted, interest, fees) reported for each deductee or transaction.
Match the totals: Make sure the total of all amounts in deductee annexure does not exceed the amount shown in the challan deposit.
Correction needed:
If the deductee annexure amounts are correct, correct the challan deposit amount to match.
If the challan deposit amount is correct, correct the deductee annexure details to align with the challan.
Re-upload the corrected file after ensuring the numbers match.
Summary: Total of deductee annexure (TDS + interest + fees) ≤ Challan deposit amount.
Adjust the amounts accordingly.
Cross-check challan details and data entry carefully.
