DEAR SIR, I HAD FILLED ALL DETAILS ON TRACES TDS WEBSITE TDS SALE ON PROPERTY BUT UNFORTUNATELY I FILED WRONG E-MAIL ID, RIGHT NOW I AM NOT ABLE TO CHANGE EMAIL, BECAUSE WITHOUT VERIFY EMAIL AND MOBILE NO. I CANT ENTER IN TRACES WEBSITE LOGIN
Please wait for 24 hours for your account to be deactivated and try again.Your registration process is valid only for 24 hours and you must activate your account within this time using the activation codes sent through Email and SMS.During registration, please ensure to verify your details on the Confirmation Screen (Step–5).

I have filed four quarters of 26Q returns F.Y 2016-17 Sucessfully. Now we identified that one Vendor PAN Number is wrongly mentined in all the quarterly returns. Question: Is there any charges for Online PAN correction. (PAN Correction is morethan 3 Digits).
I have purchased a property in New Delhi, the registration for which was done on 8-Dec, 2017. The major part of the payment was done on the date of registration after sale deed was made. Since I have availed Bank Loan, the bank cheque along with the remaining payment from my end was handed over together to the seller (75 Lac – 85K (TDS amount)). Before issuing the bank cheque, the bank had asked me to deposit TDS and provide Form 26QB on the entire amount, I believe the same is required by the Sub-registrar for Sale of a property before Sale deed is registered. Since TDS filing system doesn’t allow TDS deduction for a future payment date, I had to enter a date in the past. I was suggested to use the date of “Agreement to Sell” (payment of 10 Lac) as the date of payment by the Bank official, which was 30-Oct. Now I have got a demand notification since the payment was made after the due date. I want to correct the Date of payment now to avoid this penalty but TRACES is not letting me do this. Please guide and help.
You cannot enter a past date for a payment which has to be made in future since the liability arises on payment only and interest thereon will be levied accordingly. Form 26qb can only be generated for the amount of payment made. You can make correction online only since the facility for correction is available online only
In the traces website, the Submit for processing button is not clickable, can you please guide the process to solve it.
Note – I have made all the requirements for the function to be used but no response has been still received.
Thanks in advance.
I want to add a challan at traces, but after going through the process the process is stopped at “SUBMITTED TO ADMIN”.

Sir, I got demand for late penalty u/s 234E Which I paid online. But when I am going to add Challan under Correction request/track correction request I can not see the challan.

If your challan is not showing then you have to contact the department.
Respect you all.
I have an employee whose employment tenure was six months during the f.y 2016-17 ending on 30.09.2017 and he was transferred. TDS was deducted for those six months however while revising return which was duly filed on the due date, TDS actually so deducted was higher than that of what was supposed to be deducted and after incorporating deduction under chapter VIA and other income included.
I can’t revise return for this employee because TDS was actually deducted from the higher amount and there is no shortfall of TDS rather excess TDS.
How can I revise return for these employees?
Please help asap.
if TDS deducted was higher than that required to be deducted then the employee can claim the refund of the excess tax deducted while filing income tax return for that particular assessment year.
When I am doing TDS online correction and entering the token number, challan details and PAN details, it is saying that challan details entered is invalid.
Please contact on traces.

In the FY 2016-17, AY 2017-18 three FDRs with the SBI the 1st beneficiary is my wife and I am the 2nd beneficiary. The Bank has shown the accrued interest of the FDRs in respect of my wife to my Form 16A instead of the Form 16A of my wife. Consequently my income from other Sources-Bank Interest under 194A has been inflated by Rs.12800/-. The SBI advised me to consult their nominated CA who has uploaded the Quarterly Return. The CA told me that it would take time. If the CA of the Bank does not rectifies the mistakes by 31.07.2017 on behalf of the Bank , will it be possible for me to submit my IT Return online ignoring the excess interest shown in my FORM 16A. There will be mismatch between the interest figure between my figure
and that shown in the TRACES FORM 26AS . I am a Central Government pensioner and my pension is taxable. The pension and the interest are the only sources of my income. Kindly guide me.

After adding challan on traces site, you have to request conso file and add the deductee details. After updating details upload the same on ITD portal with Digital Signature.
Is it not possible to do PAN correction online?
Is DSC registration necessary for PAN Correction or can it be done without DSC. If it can be done without DSC, how to proceed after submitting correction request?
DSC is not compulsory for PAN correction. You have an option either you can verify it with DSC and upload documents or you can send the form along with documents to TIN NSDL by post.
By what date one can take the details published in the TRACES as final.
After processing of return by TRACES one can take the details published in the TRACES as final

When i filed online correction on traces Status is shown submitted to ITD now what to do?
Sir, your case is transferred to Income Tax Department. Now you have to contact to department personally to resolve the case.
Just wait & see Sir
””””PAN of Authorised / Responsible Person as per Personal Information of the correction and as per TRACES Profile should be same. Please update the PAN of Authorised / Responsible Person in the correction file.”””’
What is the solution for that reason
Error showing may be due to wrong PAN is updated on TRACES or PAN is updated of previous Authorized person. So you have to update the PAN on TRACES site of Authorized/Responsible Person.
