TDS Default u/s 200A

Dear Collegues, Good Morning.

As my client is receiveing the mail from TDS i.e Regular statement for acknowledgement no.<> is processed with default u/s 200A, and a PDF file is attached with demand. But the thing is that here in this mail no informations regarding which F.Y and which Quarter.
The pdf file is also not opening as it is password protected asking first four letter of pan & Date of payment/Credit.
Please guide me in this regard.

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a common issue where clients receive TDS default notices under section 200A without clear details on the financial year or quarter. The attached demand PDFs are often password-protected, requiring PAN and payment/credit dates. Colleagues share advice on how to trace the default, suggesting checking 26AS after a few working days for updated tax payment information. This update can help in matching acknowledgement numbers and determining the correct date for opening the password-protected file, enabling further action.

Mostly it will be for Q3.

You know the client.So check their file.You can get PAN and other details.Tds paid Challans.Tds filing ack.

First find out whether it is for 26Q,24Q..

If they have Consultant for Tds filing then they will be having all information.

If you have done Tds filing then you can trace based on Tds payments and Tds filing ack.
In my case:
Later i came to know about the 26AS , there the party paid the Tax on Property 5 days late where they have to pay intrest for late tax payment.
So i got these error.

Advice:
After getting this mail to your clients, Please wait for 2-3 working days to get update in 26AS , after updation you can match the Acknowledgement number with 26AS and then further Date of Booking is used for Date of payment / credit and will be usefull for opening of password protected file received with the statement default mail from traces.And then further procedures to be done according to the situations.

Thank You.
