Challan file is not available for Tds filing

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the common issue of missing challan files required for TDS return filing, particularly when payments are made through the Income Tax website instead of NSDL. Several solutions are proposed, including downloading CSI files from the Income Tax portal's 'e-Pay Tax' section by filtering payment dates. For those who have made payments through both NSDL and the Income Tax website, a workaround involves downloading a CSI file from NSDL for any past period and using it to generate the FVU file, even if it generates warnings about mismatches. The consensus is that while NSDL's CSI file might be needed for validation, payments made via the Income Tax portal can now have their CSI files downloaded directly from that portal.

Thank you all for your valuable replies.

.csi file is downloaded from IT website and generated FVU since all payments are done from IT website. NSDL has no challans.
I have already given the path for challan from IT website

Login into income tax filing --> Click on e-pay taxes after login as a deductor--> Payment History--> Filter the challans using date of payment --> Download the .csi file

CSI file shall be downloaded from NSDL website only though we have paid through Income tax and NSDL both the modes during the quarter .

while validating RPU Utility , we have to attach CSI File downloaded from NSDL only.

if only one challan paid through income tax  then CSI file shall be from Income tax file as NSDL webautw will not reflect anything.

this is certainly work .

If tds is paid from income tax website then you can't get the details from NSDL.

Hope you are aware of latest improvements.

You may come to know the practical issues if all tds payments are done from IT website
We have already got the challan file from Income tax website.

SINCE TAX PAYMENTS ARE BEING MIGRATED FROM NSDL TO INCOME TAX WEBSITE NEW ISSUES ARE ARAISING
There is no issue. You can manage it.

If Tds payment is done from NSDL website then .csi file can be downloaded from NSDL

If Tds payment is done from IT website then .csi file can be downloaded from IT website after login as a deductor as said in the above path in this thread

It's not in NSDL format . The work is reduced. Need not enter the Tds amount.

You just need to filter the period and challan can be downloaded as I said earlier

CSI file can be downloaded from the income tax filing site after login as a deductor: e-file > e-Pay Tax > Challan Status Inquiry (CSI) File > (Select the period) > Download Challan File

 

Directly it is not available but you need to filter the using the period of tds payment. Then option will be enabled to download.csi file

What if partly paid through NSDL website (For the months of Jan and Feb) and then through e-filing portal of Income Tax in March 2023 (mandatory).  Only a single file can be uploaded in RPU during validating.  How to solve this problem?
