TDS Revised Return

The error FV-BH-210091 ("Invalid Previous RRR No.") occurs because the Receipt Reference Number (RRR)—also known as the Token Number—you are providing as the "Previous RRR" does not match the record currently accepted by the TIN central system.

When filing a correction (revised) return, you must differentiate between the Original RRR and the Previous RRR:

Key Definitions:

• Original RRR No.: This is the 15-digit Token Number of your original (first) regular TDS return. This number remains the same for all subsequent corrections of that specific return.

• Previous RRR No.: This is the 15-digit Token Number of the immediately preceding return that was successfully accepted by the system.

  • If you are filing your first correction, the "Previous RRR No." is the same as your "Original RRR No."

  • If you have already filed one or more corrections that were accepted, you must use the Token Number of the most recent successfully accepted correction as your "Previous RRR No."

Steps to Resolve:

1. Check Your Records: Log in to the TRACES portal to view the "Statement Status" of your previous filings.

2. Verify the Token Number: Ensure you are using the Token Number of the last successfully processed return. If your last attempt was "Rejected," you cannot use its Token Number as the "Previous RRR." You must use the Token Number of the last "Accepted" return.

3. Update in Software: Enter the correct 15-digit numbers into your TDS software (e.g., NSDL RPU, or third-party software like Saral or ExpressTDS).

4. Validate: After updating, re-generate the FVU (File Validation Utility) file. The validation process will then be able to link your new correction to the correct chain of previously accepted returns.

If you continue to face this error, it is likely that the "Previous RRR" you are inputting has not been recorded as "Accepted" in the system. Verify the status on TRACES to ensure you have the correct, valid Token Number.
