Received demand notice for PAN correction but return showing as "pending for processing"?

We have received a demand notice due to PAN error in the TDS return for Q3 FY 2020-21. There was a typo error in one of the PANS. I want to file the corrected return but for that the utility asks for the conso file. But that is not available on the TRACES portal and the status of the last return is still showing as "pending for processing" while they have sent demand intimations and are appearing on the TRACES website. How do we file the revised the mis-typed PAN without the conso file?

I have waited for 2 days after receiving the notice but the status is still the same. Is there also a deadline to file the corrected return?

Please help.

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a common issue where a demand notice for a PAN error in a TDS return is received, yet the return status on TRACES shows as 'pending for processing'. The user is unable to file a corrected return without the conso file, which is unavailable. The thread explores potential solutions, including online correction methods, and discusses the frustration of receiving demand notices before the system reflects the return as processed. It highlights the need for clarity on processing times and the steps to take when facing this bureaucratic hurdle.

You can file the revise return through online coorection mode. There are no time limit for filing the revise return in your case.

Thanks for your reply mam. When I try to do it, it says "As you do not have registered digital signature, you are permissible to apply Challan Correction,Interest payment and Add Challan to statement. Please click on Proceed to agree". It is not giving an option for correcting PAN.

And even when I proceed for challan correction, the message given is " The statement is filed and is being processed in CPC TDS. Please try after some time.".

So basically they issued intimations and demand notice but haven't updated the status of the statement as processed. How long should I wait, that is my concern.

Basically the processing of first return takes times.So you can wait for updation of statement status.

dear reena,

I am experiencing the same problem which you were experiencing the same in year 2021, as the statement intimation already received but the actual processing is not done yet. So how much time it takes to process the TDS return. Could you help me in this case.
