For Q1 FY 2026-27, the Correction upload option through direct statement submission is no longer the primary path on TRACES.
The correct process is through the Defaults tab:
1. Log in to TRACES at traces.gov.in
2. Go to Defaults , Request for Correction
3. Select the Financial Year (2026-27), Quarter (Q1), and Form Type (24Q or 26Q)
4. Choose Online Correction mode , this lets you fix challan details, PAN entries, or salary particulars without uploading a new FVU file
5. If corrections are major (adding new deductees or changing payment modes), select Offline Correction and generate the corrected FVU file via the TDS RPU utility, then upload through this flow
The direct upload Correction option in Statement Upload was limited to users with valid DSC and administrator role , if the person initiating does not have Admin access on TRACES, only Regular appears. Check role assignment under Manage Profile.
