We have uploaded the FVU file online. But it got rejected. And the rejection reason is “Challan details in correction do not match for some non-updatable matched challan columns”
This issue occurs when the deductor makes changes in any of the existing matched fields of booked challan. Deductor needs to file a correction statement without making any changes in any field of BOOKED Challan except “”Interest, Others & Section Code””.
While uploading submits for processing not clicked properly but edits correction and back button worked properly. I checked with Chrome, Mozilla and IE 11 same problem continuing.
We are unable to understand your query, please elaborate.
I have filled late TDS return for Q4 for 17-18 with late payment interest of Rs.20450.after return filed we got intimation for demand for late filing fees. As per calculation, late payment interest is Rs.16356 and the late filing fee is Rs.13600. At the time of filing, we paid Rs.20450 hence after deduction of Rs.16356 balance amount I adjusted with late filing fee i.e Rs.4094 and balance amount paid Rs.9506. Still, we got intimation for the demand of Rs.4094.I don’t understand why this showing demand.
Download Justification report and check the workings
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
The above error occurs only in F.Y 2012-13 and F.Y 2013-14, all other years correction was done without any other error.
The pan number in personal information and traces profile is same, the error occur continuously, please help me
This issue occurs only when the PAN, name etc mentioned in personal verification (in TDS return) and the particulars mentioned in traces website profile (Authorized person) is different. Contact department for assistance if both are same and still the issue persists.
Hi,
After preparing the necessary corrections, while submitting the statement for processing, an error appears as “Unable to submit the correction statement”.
Tried in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and IE.
This error starting from this month previous month I have filed many returns online with DSC
Please, Help me on this matter…
CHECK YOUR PRN AND DATE OF FILING OF ORIGINAL RETURN. IF PROBLEM PERSISTS THEN CONTACT DEPARTMENT FOR ASSISTANCE.
WHAT HAS PRN AND ORIGINAL RETURN DATE GOT TO DO WITH ONLINE CORRECTION AT TRACES? IF THESE ARE WRONG THEN VALIDATION WILL FAIL BUT NOT GO TO CORRECTION READY FOR SUBMISSION STATE AND THEN FAIL WITH MESSAGE “UNABLE TO SUBMIT CORRECTION STATEMENT” AS IS HAPPENING NOW.
These are validations of dept., these details are required for KYC before filing correction.
You have any solution for this problem….Please share
Hi,
I contacted TDS CPC, there is some technical error in website. executive suggested me to only Add Challan online without DSC & do other changes offline through NSDL for corrections.
TRACES WEBSITE HAS GONE MAD.
THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF ERRORS AND PROBLEMS THAT IT HAS BECOME IMPOSSIBLE TO WORK ON TRACES LEADING TO DELAYS AND WASTED TIME.
THE WEBSITE IS BADLY MAINTAINED. THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD LOOK INTO IT.
Same Problem Boss
Traces department said 2 months not working
same thing with me…any solution ???
