How to cancel paper TDS return?

Hi,

I have filed a paper TDS return for Q4 2011. While TIN has accepted the retun, the challans have not been booked with the reason given as "Invalid paper return: booking skipped". NSDL was not able to give me the reason for this. They just said that the data provided in the return might have been incomplete or illegible. So, I filed a correction statement. But, again, the challans were not booked. All other details such as challan numbers, deductee PAN, etc have been correctly captured (as I verified online).

I am now planning to cancel the return and file a fresh electronic return. How to cancel paper TDS return?

Regards,

Deepak

file ETDS

as paper returns are not recognized by nsdl 

its not yet filed, so u dont have to cancell it

Just to clarify - my retun has been accepted by NSDL; it is just that the challans have not been booked. Incidentally, I did file papaer retuns for Q1 and Q2 of FY 2011 , and they went through without any problems.

Any hep of how to cancel would be appreciated.

invalid paper return- booking skipped 

it means despite of submission, the data was not entered in nsdl

 

you dont have to worry about these, and go for filing of ETDS

 

if u still feel insecure, then write to NSDL not to consider the paper return on reason mentioned, with a copy to AO (TDS) of your area.

Thanks for the reply!

However, the data has been entered in NSDL - in fact, all challan numbers are correct, even deductee PAN is correct.

If I try to file e-TDS, TIN-FC will not accept, saying original statement has already accepted by TIN!

That is why I was wondering what to do.
