TV-3169 error in my TDS Return

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

The TV-3169 error in your TDS Return typically indicates a problem with the Permanent Account Number (PAN) of your deductees. This could mean a PAN is missing, invalid, incorrectly formatted, or doesn't match the Income Tax Department's records. To fix this, carefully verify all deductee PANs, use the PAN verification tools available on the NSDL or Income Tax e-filing portals, and correct your TDS statement. If a PAN is genuinely unavailable, ensure you've used the correct 'PAN not available' code, especially when deducting tax at a higher rate.

27 May 2025 The TV-3169 error in your TDS Return typically occurs due to a mismatch between the total tax deposit amount reported in the return and the actual deposit amount in the challan or transfer voucher. Review the amount entered in the challan details. Ensure it matches or exceeds the total of all amounts credited in the deductee details for that challan. Add up all the TDS, interest, and fee amounts entered against deductee for the challan. The sum should not exceed the challan amount deposited.

28 May 2025 The TV-3169 error in a TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) Return typically occurs due to the following reason:

Mismatch or missing PAN in the TDS return statement.

Explanation:
This error indicates that PAN (Permanent Account Number) has not been correctly quoted or is missing in one or more deductee records in your TDS return. It may also arise if:

The PAN quoted is invalid or incorrectly formatted.

The PAN is not matching with the name in the Income Tax Department's records.

The deductee's record is missing a PAN altogether and no valid “PAN not available” code has been used.

Common Scenarios for TV-3169 Error:
In Form 26Q: This form relates to payments other than salaries. If PAN of any deductee is missing or invalid, the error will be flagged.

In Form 24Q: For TDS on salaries, if an employee’s PAN is not mentioned or incorrect.

In Form 27Q: TDS for NRIs, where PAN is even more critical for proper matching.

How to Resolve:
Verify PANs: Check the PANs of all deductees and ensure they are valid and correctly entered.

Use PAN Verification Tool: Use the NSDL PAN verification or Income Tax e-filing portal to verify PAN details.

Correct the TDS Statement: Update the PAN or add missing PANs in your correction statement.

Re-file the corrected return: Submit the corrected TDS return after fixing the PAN issues.

If the PAN is not available, and tax is deducted at a higher rate (e.g., 20%), you should use the appropriate flag code (like "PANNOTAVBL").
