    • Update deductor details such as the Name and address of the Deductor. This type of correction is known as C1
    • Update challan details such as challan serial no., BSR code, challan tender date, challan amounts, etc. This type of correction is known as C2.
    • Update/delete /add deductee details. This type of correction is known as C3.
    • Add/delete salary detail records. This type of correction is known as C4.
    • Update PAN of the deductee or employee in deductee/salary details. This type of correction is known as C5.
      Add a new challan and underlying deductees. This type of correction is known as C9.
    • Cancel accepted statement. This type of correction is known as Y. Cancellation of Regular TDS/TCS can be done only if the TAN of the deductor is being revised. When you cancel the regular statement with an incorrect TAN, it is necessary to file a new regular TDS/TCS statement with the correct TAN.

    Points to Ponder While Filing a Revised TDS Return

    • Online changes can be done only in the PAN and challan. For any other revision in the return, one needs to make changes through TIN-FC. 
    • Only those TDS returns can be revised, the statements for which is issued after the fiscal year 2007-08.
    • For the online rectification in the TDS return, a taxpayer must be registered on the online portal i.e. TRACES. 
    • Only those altered statements are considered valid which have been approved or accepted by the TIN central system.
    • The changes made in the TDS return statement should be given many times to reflect the changes in the regular TDS report. However, the TIN Central system accepts a regular statement only once.
    • User must ensure that the updated changes or corrections are in harmony with the acceptable alterations in the TDS report.
    • The record, disallowed earlier should be mentioned clearly by the user.

    Partly Accepted Statements

    When the status of the rectified statements is displayed as “Partially Accepted’,  the user must do the following:

    • Ensure that the rectifications w.r.t the accepted records in the TDS report are duly updated. 
    • Ensure that the correct PAN is updated in his statement because incorrect PAN details lead to rejection of remuneration.

      Not able to understand what to do

      kindly guide

      1. Section wise bifurcation of salary, exemptions and deductions is now required as per the new TDS 24Q format. So now you have to enter the details section-wise while filing correction return.

    23. How do we file an online correction statement for the fy 2010-11? traces show below the message.

    26. I am using SAG Genius IT Software. In case of one client, 26Q4 for 2017-18 FY was filed regularly but today 09/10/18, one additional challan for pending TDS is paid. Now I want to revise my originally filed ETDS Return through our software. Pls tell me steps, how to generate FVU file to include new challan details & file it with TIN Centre.

    27. Sir, your guidance on how to make the correction in the TDS return is very appropriate easily understandable. in nutshell, I understood that if you want to add challan then make the request for adding challan. and thereafter filed the list of challans you desire to be added. thereafter you again down load the conso file obviously this latest conso file will also have the challans which you have requested for additions.

      thereafter on this latest conso file, you can add deductees, correction in the pan no. of the deductees, delete the deductees. here only one confusion while submitting an application for making an addition of 2 challans, wrongly I have submitted the application for 3 challans. the third challans which was wrongly included here that challan I want to use in another quarter. then how this third challan shall be utilized in the different quarter. please guide this point.

      1. You don’t have to add any deductee records in the 3rd challan. Leave it as it is and proceed to file correction for rest of the challans. On traces website, the 3rd challan will remain unconsumed and you can utilize it in the different quarter.

      2. While downloading conso file after adding challans to the statement, what should be the PAN-Amt. combination? For Q4 return is filed with 15g entries only but now it is to be revised as challans for the said quarter are there.

    28. 24Q4 Conso File not downloaded. but already filed but deducted three mismatched. than revised console file download gets challan mismatch. pls, replay.

    29. There was the delay in FY 2008-09 TDS. The same was deposited along with applicable interest. However, the amount of Interest has not been captured by TRACES and amount is reflecting as outstanding along with interest.

      Please guide as to how to correct this.
