TDS RETURN REJECTED with Reason Line no 2 – Duplicate Statement.

Hi,
I’m filing my Q1 TDS return for the first time (Form 26Q), and it has never been filed before. But every time I upload the return, it gets rejected with the error: “Line no 2 – Duplicate Statement.”
Also, I’m unable to log in to TRACES because this is my first TDS return and all my attempts are getting rejected.

Has anyone faced this issue before? Any solution would be helpful.

Thanks in advance!
