Problem in validating tds eturn

Dear Garima Mam,

you should select CSI file for uploading of challan (which you downloaded from income tax site). and then, select TDS file for generation of FVU file (by selecting TXT file, which you generated), and then error statistics file for the place where you want to save the Error-stats. file (to show error in uploading).

Hi Lovely,

Thanks for the reply. I have two challans in my return. i have downloaded the csi file and when i validate i shows the error that Input file name is too long..should not exceed 12 characers including extension..

Dear Mam,

so, take a note of that error.. and keep the name of the file below 12 characters.. Please note here that error here is in regard to Input File (the name of file which you are going to create) not the CSI file.. it has nothing to do with that file...

Dear Lovely,

File validation is successful. Thanks.Just wanted to ask two more thing, In the challan tab, there was a column Minor Head(Tax payable by Taxpayer or assessment by I.T dept.), i was not able to fill hat..the cell was disabled. When i put cursor there it showed- The field is applicable only from f.y 2013-14.

And in  the FVU TDS STATEMENT FILE, There is no PAN of deductor mentioned there..its just a "-" there. Though i have mentioned in the return.

Dear Mam,

that might be the new facility to the taxpayer... to update/verify the A.Y. and minor head code while submitting the returns... which was not available before... the assessee shouldn't have any problem if the same is still not available.. or even if facilitated by the dept... one shouldn't worry about it... If the same can be filed, then fill it, if the same can't be filed (already filed properly), then go ahead... carry on...

and in regards to FVU-TDS stats. file... yes, the deductor's PAN No. should have been mentioned here... kindly check RPU file again.. where you mentioned the PAN No... might be that you mentioned it at wrong place... but as the system has accepted the file (without PAN) or might be showing wrongly as "--" even though you gave PAN No. correctly... then, leave it.. and submit it to the dept., they should accept it..

Hello Experts,

I am filling 27q for third quarter of ay 2023-24 .. Error showing in csi file which is downloaded from income tax portal because payment is made through income tax portal new facility provided.

Error is Invalid Challan input file. NO response from Income tax department.

Can anyone help me to resolve these..

Hello Arun,

TDS payment through income tax portal started recently and before that, maximum persons tried to pay through NSDL portal which was the only portal to make TDS payment. What you can do is as workaround that you need to download csi file for any of the past period from NSDL portal i.e. period in which they have made payment through NSDL (whether or not that period within TDS return quarter that we have taken up for filing). Use that csi file to generate fvu file. Use that fvu file to upload on income tax portal for TAN login.

Generally, if there is mismatch in challan between csi file (downloaded from NSDL since it belongs to different period) and challan as per return data, system will also generate "Electronic_Statement_Warning_File.H T M L" file containing details of such mismatch alongwith fvu file. You just need to ignore that H T M L file and no need to worry if your challan data in TDS return is correct as per actual challan (which you have paid through income tax portal).

In case if you haven't paid TDS on NSDL portal anytime in past, all you can do is to make TDS payment of Rs.1 through NSDL portal using their TAN details, and wait for 4-5 days to get that payment reflect in NSDL OLTAS records. Now, download csi file after 4-5 days and use it in the same as mentioned above.

I understand that this is an error on income tax portal and would be rectified in future but for the current filing, you can try abovementioned workaround.
