Escalate the grievance at TDS CPC
Not always possible

Hi, I also filed 26Q on 12th April, accepted by CPC, got intimation "Regular Statements processed without defaults u/s 154 r.w.s 200A/206CB" on 17th April, but the Statement Status on TRACES is still "Under Processing" and I can't download Form 16As.

Basically the same issue as yours. Has yours been processed on the portal yet? How long did it take?

I also have same issue, as i can't download the Form 16's now until it is Processed.

What to do?

@ CA MVC and @ sachin goel - wait, it takes pretty long, like 2 or so weeks, but gets processed. if it hasn't been processed for more than 2 weeks (after inbox update), then raise a grievance

I have submitted 26Q as on 21st July 2024 but till date has shown "Pending for Processing".

What can I do ?

Pending for Processing on TRACES means the CPC-TDS system has received your 26Q return and accepted it, but the processing job that matches PAN-wise TDS details to deductee accounts has not completed yet.

Normal timelines:
- Clears in 3 to 7 working days after acceptance
- Still pending beyond 15 working days means something is stuck

Two things to check while waiting:
- In TRACES go to Statement/Payment > View Statement Status. If it moved from Uploaded to Accepted that part is done. Pending for Processing is the next stage before Final Accepted.
- Check for any conso file download errors or validation warnings in the dashboard.

If it stays stuck beyond 15 working days:
- Raise a ticket at TRACES helpdesk: Help > Raise Ticket

Late processing can also delay your deductees from seeing TDS credits in their Form 26AS. If credits are missing at the time of their ITR filing, they should download the latest AIS and cross-check. For how TDS interest under Section 201(1A) applies if there is an actual late deposit (separate from late return), see this [TDS late deposit interest guide](https://taxgarden.in/blog/section-201-1a-interest-late-tds-deposit-deduction-india)
