SELECT THE FORM APPLICABLE TO YOU IE 26Q/24Q. FILL UP THE COMPANY DETAILS LIKE TAN NO, NAME ADDRESS ETC.

NOW GO TO CHALLAN TAG, INSERT ONE ROW, SELECT THE SECTION CODE, FILL UP 0 (ZERO) IN TDS, CESS, EDU CESS, INT ETC, LEAVE BLANK CHQ & BSR COLUMNS, IN THE DATE ENTER LAST DATE OF QUARTER,

THAN SAVE FILE & CREATE FUV FILE

REGARDS,

RPU can be used to prepare a return without a challan and/or deductee. If there is no challan i.e. when no tax has been deposited, then challan sheet should be filled as below -

Field Value	Value
Serial No. (Column no. 401)	1
Section Code(Section Relevant to the Nature of Payment)	From DropDown Menu
Amount Fields i.e. TDS,Surcharge,Education Cess,Interest and Others(Column no. 403 to 407)	0.00 (Zero)
Cheque / DD number (Column no 409)	Blank
Date on which tax deposited (Column no. 411) last day of respective quarter e.g. for quarter 4	31/03/2013
Transfer voucher / Challan serial No. (Column no. 412)	Blank
Whether TDS Deposited by Book Entry ?(Yes)/(No) (Column no.413)	Blank
Interest `	0.00 (Zero)
Others `	0.00 (Zero)

If there is no deductee/party, then Annexure I should be left blank.

NIL TDS RETURN CAN NOT BE VALIDATED IN E-TDS RPU 3.7 !!

FOLLOWING THE STEPS AS DESCRIBED IN THE RPU HELP VALIDATION GIVES THE FOLLOWING ERROR :

T-FV-3165 Nil challan with no deductee records is not allowed.

IF ANNEXURE 1 IS LEFT WITHOUT INSERTING ANY ROW , HOW DEDUCTEE RECORDS WILL BE AVAILABLE AND ALSO WHEN IT IS A NIL TDS RETURN !!

AGAIN SECTION CODE CAN NOT BE SELECTED IN CHALLAN SHEET.

PLEASE HELP IF THERE IS ANY SOLUTION

A return can not be filed in version 3.7 if there is no deductee or amount paid or credited is ZERO .

New version requires atleast one deductee with pan and payment details. i.e. Nil returns are no more necessary to be filed.

Dear Members,

In RPU 3.7 Common Help file describes how to prepare NIL Statement as follows:

4. Nil Statement

RPU can be used to prepare a return without a challan and/or deductee. If there is no challan i.e. when no tax has been deposited, then challan sheet should be filled as below -

Field Value	Value
Serial No. (Column no. 301/401/651/701)	1
Section Code(Section Relevent to the Nature of Payment/Collection)	From DropDown Menu
Amount Fields i.e. TDS,Surcharge,Education Cess,Interest and Others(Column no 302/402/652/702 to 306/405/657/707)	0.00 (Zero)
Cheque / DD number	Blank
Date on which tax deposited (Column no. 311/410/662/712) last day of respective quarter e.g. for quarter 4	31/03/2008
Transfer voucher / Challan serial No. (Column no. 310/409/661/’711)	Blank
Whether TDS/TCS Deposited by Book Entry ?(Yes)/(No) (Column no.308/407/659/709)	Blank
Interest `	0.00 (Zero)
Others `	0.00 (Zero)

Nil challans/transfer vouchers need to mandatorily have deductee records with flag 'A', 'B', 'Y', 'S', 'T' & 'Z' (as applicable) in the remarks for lower or non-deduction.

In RPU 3.6 the Common help file appears as follows:

4. Nil Statement

RPU can be used to prepare a return without a challan and/or deductee. If there is no challan i.e. when no tax has been deposited, then challan sheet should be filled as below -

Field Value	Value
Serial No. (Column no. 301/401/651/701)	1
Section Code(Section Relevent to the Nature of Payment/Collection)	From DropDown Menu
Amount Fields i.e. TDS,Surcharge,Education Cess,Interest and Others(Column no 302/402/652/702 to 306/405/657/707)	0.00 (Zero)
Cheque / DD number	Blank
Date on which tax deposited (Column no. 311/410/662/712) last day of respective quarter e.g. for quarter 4	31/03/2008
Transfer voucher / Challan serial No. (Column no. 310/409/661/’711)	Blank
Whether TDS/TCS Deposited by Book Entry ?(Yes)/(No) (Column no.308/407/659/709)	Blank
Interest `	0.00 (Zero)
Others `	0.00 (Zero)

If there is no deductee/party, then Annexure I should be left blank.

So we have file NIL Statement but with Non TDS details.
