Processed for 26as - challan mismatch/ overbooked/ pan error

Hi,

 

I had filed eTDS and on the TRACES login, the status shows as "Processed for 26AS" (light green icon in the Dashboard). But I received an e-mail notification that 

Challan Mismatch/Challan Overbooked/PAN Error have been identified in the preliminary check of Regular statement filed by you for Quarter Q4 of F.Y 2015-16 for Form 24Q. 

Your statement has been put on hold. You can apply online correction within 7 days to avoid potential defaults of Short Payment and PAN Error.


Post this notification, I login to TRACES and I get an Alert as following

Processing of statement for Q4 of FY 2015-16 for Form 24Q has been put on hold since Challan Mismatch/Challan Overbooked/PAN Error have been identified. - [09-May-2016]

I am unable to check any erros in the eTDS filed. What should I do to have this resolved? Kindly help

 

Regards

 

Govind

Quick Summary
The discussion explains how to resolve a TRACES alert for challan mismatch, overbooked challan, or PAN error after filing an eTDS statement. It recommends reviewing the statement and submitting an online or offline correction through TRACES, with a digital signature required for online correction.

you can go for online /offline correction from traces.in online correction you need digital signature

This generally happens if TRACES detects an inconsistency in the post processing validation even if the status shows up as "Processed for 26AS" initially. Not to worry this is not a huge filing mistake necessarily.

My recommendation would be:

1. Download Justification Report from TRACES; it clearly indicates the nature of the discrepancy (Challan Mismatch/ Overbooked Challan/PAN error)
2. Double check your challan particulars (BSR Code, Challan Serial number, Date of Deposit, Amount) and see that there is no overbooking of the challan in your return.

3. Check all deductions pans for any invalid or incorrect entries.

4. If any error is found, file online correction via TRACES (may need DSC for some correction).

If challan particulars are in order and there is no actual overbooking then it is possible that the issue is with TRACES validation itself; in that case register a grievance with CPC-TDS / TRACES ( after downloading Justification Report). Keep a copy of challan with you.
