Challan file is not available for Tds filing

Csi file is just for pre-validation of challan errors. Its a facility to correct challan level mismatch before filing. If you have challans in hand and data mentioned in TDS return correct as per challan, then don't worry about correct csi file. Just download csi file from nsdl for any of the past period whether or not related to current quarter under filing and validate return based on that. You may get electronic warning file stating that challan mentioned in validated csi file is not matching with TDS return. Just ignore that file. Upload fvu and get the return filed.

Mr. Eshwar,

Its been rude to say like this. See my reply correctly and then you will get your solution. Job position doesn't guarantee manners. You need to take some learning on that. Anyways all the best in finding ur solution.

"Just download csi file from nsdl for any of the past period whether or not related to current quarter under filing and validate return based on that. You will get your fvu generated. Along with this, electronic warning file also been generated as to "challan mentioned in validated csi file is not matching with TDS return". Just ignore that file. Upload fvu and get the return filed."

There is a concept of "way around" which is as below :

TDS payment through income tax portal started recently and before that, maximum persons tried to pay through NSDL portal which was the only portal to make TDS payment. What I mentioned in my earlier reply is that you need to download csi file for any of the past period from NSDL portal i.e. period in which they have made payment through NSDL (whether or not that period within TDS return quarter that we have taken up for filing). Use that csi file to generate fvu file. Use that fvu file to upload on income tax portal for TAN login.

Generally, if there is mismatch in challan between csi file (downloaded from NSDL since it belongs to different period) and challan as per return data, system will also generate "Electronic_Statement_Warning_File.H T M L" file containing details of such mismatch alongwith fvu file. You just need to ignore that H T M L file and no need to worry if your challan data in TDS return is correct as per actual challan (which you have paid through income tax portal).

In case if someone don't have history of TDS challan on NSDL portal, all they can do is to make TDS payment of Rs.1 through NSDL portal using their TAN details, and wait for 4-5 days to get that payment reflect in NSDL OLTAS records. Now, download csi file after 4-5 days and use it in the same as mentioned above.

Hope you read this patiently and understand now how to resolve this type of situation in future. There are lot of issues on tax filing, all can be solved by using each other's expertise (motto behind caclubindia).

Hi

actually though challan paid through NSDL and IT website .. While generating FVU File , please attach Oltas challan file only .. FVU will generate.

csi file downloaded from income tax website not working while validation of return, only csi file download from NSDL working.
