Hi,
There is a TDS short deduction for the FY 2018-2019 Q2 and got a notice for the same. Paid the Short deduction by challan 281 and when filing time the interest amount also was there which was paid subsequently in another challan 281. When I do the add challans in traces the traces process it with defaults.
Don’t know where I am making the mistake. While adding the challans to the statement I just simply save the pop-up window and go for the correction. Is it the correct way or I need to change any values in the edit challan option while adding? guide me for the exact procedure step by step so that this won’t get processes with defaults. thanks
Hi, I filed a TDS correction statement online, but it has been submitted to Admin user and I don’t have Admin user Login details. Any suggestions/ Solutions how I can solve this.
Submitted to admit user means you have done the corrections and have submitted it once. Now you need to go to ‘Action summary’ and click on “submit for processing” for final submission.
Hi sir,
I am Suri, After I filed TDS correction Return in traces, it rejected with reason “Total amount of Tax deposited validation failed (Sum of Tax + Interest + Surcharge + Others + Fee Should be equal to total Challan Amount)
Please give me a solution for correction filing
Dear all,
I HAVE FILED THE Q3 RETURN BUT TWO VENDORS ARE SHOT DEDUCTION PAYMENT DONE. I PAID THE ANOTHER CHALLAN WITH INTEREST, PLEASE TELL ME THE PROCESS OF HOW TO CORRECTION IN ONLINE WITH NEW CHALLAN
Firstly you have to add challan to your statement via online correction. Once the challan is added, request conso file, import it into the fvu and do the necessary corrections. You have to divide the amount paid/credited of deductees in proportion to TDS deducted in different challans & show it accordingly.
Hi,
I received Demand Payment against my Form 26QB submission for TDS on the sale of the property. I paid the demand via new challan. How do I add it to Form 26QB? Do I need to File Correction? I tried but do not see any option to add challan?
Thanks
Nitin
A separate challan is given for demand payment in case of TDS on sale of the property. You will have to pay the amount via that challan only by filling the particulars of notice, demand raised etc. No need to add it to Form 26Q. Traces will automatically remove the demand with challan paid.
Validation Error. Total Taxable Amt in challan should be=sum of pay amt of the attached deductee rows
Validation Error. Tax Deducted in challan should be=sum of Tax Deducted in attached deductee row
