Quick Summary
Many taxpayers are encountering an error during Income Tax Return (ITR) filing where the 'Head of Income' dropdown in the TDS schedule is either empty or missing crucial options like Capital Gains or Salary. This prevents them from correctly allocating TDS deductions, especially for income like EPF withdrawals or property sales. Users are seeking guidance on how to edit or select the appropriate head of income to resolve validation errors and successfully file their returns.

You have to select proper head of income where you have shown the relevant income over which the TDS got deducted.

How/where to edit "Head of Income"?

Refer

 Column 12 of ... Schedule TDS  

C1  Details of Tax deducted at source(TDS) on Income [As per form 16A]

You have select the relevant entry to modify the details.

I'm facing the same issue. There is no option to modify details

 

Edit the detail in Schedule TDS2. Select the entry, then click on Edit button.

edit button is not coming

I have a related issue. So, I withdrew my EPF before 5 years and 10% TDS is deducted. I have declared the same under Schedule Salary ( I don't have any other declarations under this Schedule). Now, when I go to Schedule TP (Tax Paid) --> TDS2 I can see the pre-filled declaration for the TDS deducted against this withdrawal. The problem is that the "Head of Income" (Col 12) is empty and when I try to Edit and select Income from Salary... it does not list in the drop-down. 

The only options I see are as you can see in the following image i.e. House Property, Business, CG, OS, EI

 

Declare the income under Schedule 'Other income'; at the same time select option OD in TDS column.

Facing similar issue in ITR-2.

Issue : ITR-2 filled with Capital Gains due to sale of property. In pre-filled form, in the TDS schedule, in section TDS-3, the data of TDS paid by buyers comes populated OK with Head of Income(Col12) showing as Income from Capital Gains.

However, when trying to Validate this ITR2, it shows error and asks to go back to TDS-3 and fill Col12 (Head of Income). Now, the Col12 of TDS-3 appears empty, and when trying to fill this Col12 through a dropdownlist, the option to choose Income from Capital Gains -is NOT SHOWN, only options shown are Income from other sources/house property/exempt.  So obviously cannot save TDS-3 and validate.

Can someone help/advice. Thanks
