Form 26QC challan paid but not reflecting on TRACES

Verify the payment status on the OLTAS CIN enquiry first. Ensure you are searching for Assessment Year 2026-27 on TRACES, and double-check that no PAN characters were mistyped during filing. If errors are found, initiate a "Challan Correction" via the TRACES dashboard.

On the OLTAS portal it shows no record found

i am also facing the same problem, Filed 26QC on 18th April, till now it is not reflecting.

Any update on this?  is it reflecting?

No..not yet. Please let me know if yours start reflecting 

Sure I will update 

You all need to jump to TRACES-1, after login through TRACES-2 portal.

Refer to the following link on how to do it :-

It is reflecting for our client in 26AS. However it is not yet reflecting in AIS.

@ Mayuri

Once it is showing in 26AS, it will appear soon in AIS also. Give little time.

It's not yet reflecting in mine

Form 26QC challan typically takes 3 to 5 working days to reflect on TRACES after the payment is confirmed on the income tax portal. The lag happens because challan data flows from the income tax portal to TRACES after NSDL reconciliation.

Here is the sequence to check:

1. First verify that the challan is confirmed on the income tax portal itself. Go to e-Pay Tax, then Payment History. If you see the CIN (Challan Identification Number) for the 26QC payment, the payment is successful even if TRACES has not updated yet.

2. TRACES updates usually happen in batches. After 5 working days, log in to TRACES as a taxpayer and check under Challan Status. Enter the challan details (BSR code, date, serial number) from your payment receipt.

3. If TRACES still shows nothing after 7 working days, raise a grievance on the income tax portal under Pending Actions. Category: TDS. Sub-category: Challan not reflecting on TRACES. Attach the CIN and Form 26QC acknowledgment.

4. The landlord cannot download Form 16C from TRACES until the challan is reflected and the certificate is generated. Once TRACES confirms the challan, the Form 16C should be downloadable by the tenant within 1 to 2 working days.

Note: Under the Income Tax Act 2025 (effective April 1, 2026), Form 26QC is now referenced under a renumbered section, but the filing process on the portal remains the same. The TRACES certificate may reference new form numbers going forward.
