When you file for a correction in Form 26QB, the process involves approval by the deductor (in this case, the builder). The “Pending for PAN Approval” status indicates that the request is awaiting action on the builder's side.

Key Considerables About TRACES Login

  1. TAN vs. PAN Login:
    TRACES has separate logins for TAN and PAN:

    • TAN Login is used by deductors (entities required to deduct TDS) for managing TDS-related activities.

    • PAN Login is used for individuals or entities to view their own tax information, like Form 26AS or TDS details against their PAN.

  2. Since the builder deducted the TDS using their TAN, they should approve your request through their TAN-based TRACES login, not PAN.

Steps Builder needs to Perform to Approve the Request:

The following steps the builder need to do to approve your Form 26QB correction request:

  1. Log in to TRACES with TAN: The builder must log in to the TRACES portal using their TAN credentials. 

  2. Access the Approval Requests:

    • Go to the ‘Pending Actions’ on the dashboard.

    • Look for the correction request linked to your Form 26QB. 

  3. Approve the Request: The builder can view correction details and approve or reject the request. The approval is mandatory for the changes to take effect.

Possible Reasons for the Issue

  1. Miscommunication or Lack of Awareness: The builder may not be familiar with accessing and approving correction requests on TRACES.

  2. Incorrect Filing Reference: Ensure the request was filed correctly with all necessary details, including the builder’s TAN.

  3. Request Visibility Delay: Occasionally, there might be a lag in the request appearing on the builder’s TRACES portal. If this persists, contact the TRACES helpline. 

What Action should be taken? 

  • Communicate with the builder and confirm they are logging in with their TAN credentials. 

  • If the builder still cannot see the request, you may need to contact TRACES support for technical assistance or clarification.
