Prepared correction statement correcting employee’s salary and payment details for 24Q after online adding challan for short deduction. FVU is generated but 24CQ Electronic statement warning reports error “Date of Tax deducted does not pertain to the quarter for which the TDS/TCS statement is prepared (Error code T-FV-4300)”.
Factually, statement belongs to Q4,2016-17, but since the short deduction is paid now, we want to show current date of deduction. Will these returns be approved by traces or we will have to show the date of deduction as 31/03/2016.
Thanks
Parmes.
Date of deduction can be entered as the current date. You can file your return ignoring the warning message.
I have filed 24Q for quarter 4 TDS Statement It was rejected by the TRACES. first I tried for online correction as I had to enter 80 C and Chapter IV deduction details for one employee. I deleted Employee Salary details and tried to add salary, deduction, Taxable Income details for the same employee TRACES was not accepting Addition of employee details even though there was the deduction of TDS during the year in previous quarters and previous quarters return were accepted by the TRACES. I then filed offline correction. and the same was rejected by the TRACES the rejection reason was “Deductee Details not unique for the addition of new deductee”
Kindly reply what could be the reason

You need to modify the salary details and enter 80C deductions. If you are filing it through any software, it will automatically delete the previous entry and add the new one.

Dear sir/madam,
We have filed our first TDS return 26Q for Quarter 4 of FY 17-18 on June 4,2018.
Since we filed the TDS return belatedly by 4 days, an intimation u/s 200A/206CB was sent to us. As per the said demand notice, an amount of Rs.1210/- is required to be paid by us.
In the demand notice, we are required to pay the said default amount by logging on to our account on tdscpc.in.
Since it is our first TDS return, we are required to register on the TRACES website in order to pay the said amount.
When we try to register on the TRACES website, we are getting redirected to the income tax e-filing website.
We are not able to REGISTER AND CREATE A TRACES account to download the justification report.
Kindly provide guidance on how to resolve the above problem as we are required to pay the interest and late fee.
