How to correct the financial year of TDS challan?
In case of physical challan, you may contact your concerned bank branch for rectification of challan. In case of challan paid through online mode, you need to contact your concerned assessing officer for rectification.
Hi,
Kindly help me in adding challans for a short deduction demand in traces. I paid short deduction amount alone in one challan 281 and another challan 281 for the interest amount. I just added these challans to that quarter statement without doing any modification and the statement got “processed with defaults”.
What is the mistake I am doing? kindly help me, please. step by step instruction would be great-full if anyone replies. thanks
Just adding challans to the statement is correct if there is a demand for only interest and late fee. However for short deduction of TDS you need to request conso file, import it into the department’s utility/ TDS software and do the changes in deductee records and then file a correction statement.
