You cannot show NIL challans in the TDS statement. Statement gets rejected if NIL challans are shown. The deductee entries of 15G/H are shown in the matched challans only.

Hi Sir,
The status is being shown as “Initiated” since a week. how long it will be shown as same, bcz I am also faceing the same problem
Sir
I have filed a correction statement online but it is getting rejected again and again. The following error is showing “Validation Error. Tax Deducted in challan should be=sum of Tax Deducted in attached deductee row’ Please Suggest how can I correct this?
Please check whether the”Total Tax deposited” shown in deductee rows is in fraction or whether the challan is overbooked.
Please resolve the validation error as TDS deducted and deposited in challan should be equal to deductee row. Correct the challan amount.
