Consolidated file download

Dear Sir,

Previous consultants uploaded my client's TDS return for the assessment year 2009-10.

Later it was found that they uploaded challan as book entry by mistake and hence theses challans provisionally booked by TIN.

Now I want to make correction the challans. I tried to retrieve the consolidated file. But I got the message "Challan/ Transfer voucher details do not match with the details available at TIN central system."

Please help me to resolve the problem.

Thanks and Best Regards

Roopesh N

Hi Roopesh!

I have had similar problems is the past when i tried to Download the Consolidated TDS file. My guess is this is due to difference in Challan details available with you and the ones available with the income tax department. Back in FY 2008-09 (AY 09-10) interenet banking was not very popular among Small- medium sized firms. They used to manually pay the Challan amount to the bank. The challan details are uploaded by the banks to the Departments Datablase via OLTAS (Online Tax accounting System). Please try to remedy the situation as follows:

Go to Google & type "OLTAS TAN based view". This will take you to the TIN-NSDL website. Now enter the period or quarter in which you need to view the Challan Details. This option will display al the Challans paid by your client during that period. See if the CIN (Challan Identification Number) i.e the BSR Code, Challan Serial Number & Date of Deposit match with the challans available with you. You can also try to match the challans by entering the amounts.

Then enter the CIN as displayed in their Database.

Also this problem might be due to not entering the Challan Details in the Original TDS Return uploaded by your clients previous consultants.

As per my understanding Book entry is only for Government Deductors.

Regards,

Viggi

I do not agree with Mr. Vignesh.

Instead I suggest you to go to the e-TDS Return verification status. There you will know the Dt. of the challan No. (amount you must be knowing).

From this you take one challan which has only one record- because then matching the amount would not be a problem.

From the e-TDS return verification menu If you had noticed that the challan No. is not mentioned previous consultant had not entered the No. then pray call centre.

-patience pays.
