T-FV-3175 generally points to a file-version mismatch: the FVU is treating the generated file as an older RPU version. For FY 2024–25 Q2 Form 26Q, confirm that the RPU and FVU are the matching versions prescribed for that return period; RPU 5.2 may not be the applicable/current pair. Download both afresh from the official TRACES/NSDL TIN utility page, extract them into a new folder, and generate the file again rather than reusing an earlier .txt or working folder. Check the utility’s displayed version before creating the FVU file.
If the error continues, note the FVU version, exact RPU version shown in the utility, and whether the file was generated from a saved statement; those details can help isolate a version or cached-file issue. Confirm the currently prescribed utility versions on the official download page, as availability can change.
Matching the RPU and FVU versions is a key control in the quarterly TDS return workflow.
