  1. Hi,

    I made TDS payment through 26QB for a property purchase. I made the payment for Rs. 58,696 which is 1% of the full value in May 2020. I had made the booking for the property in Feb 2020, 3 months prior to the payment date. The challan and payment amount reflect the correct amount Rs. 58,696(0 interest, 0 penalty). However, the Form 16B downloaded from Traces has only Rs. 44,022 as the amount remitted. Please help me understand why there is a mismatch. How can I fix this?

  2. Hello,
    In for 24Q under annexure II (salary details), deduction shown earlier can be modified in correction statement..?

    1. I already submitted the 24Q 4th quarter 2019-2020 but there is some correction in the annexure II data 80C and 80d which deductible amount is not shown in the statement But I can get the online correction is it possible to correct the data and submit

  3. I have filed the original TDS Return 26Q for Qtr 2 on 19-10-19. However, later on, I have added 2 challans of 24Q online by mistake and downloaded Conso file for revising return so that I can delete both the challan.
    I have filed the TDS Return 6-7 times but they rejected with reasons “Total Amount of Tax Deposited validation failed (Sum of Tax + Interest + Surcharge + Others + Fee should be equal to Total Challan Amount”

    I have checked every time and the challan matches with the deductee TDS amount. Also, the Justification report could not be downloaded stating no error is there.
    Now, please guide me on how to rectify it.

  4. I’ve filled up Form 26QB but before payment of TDS, a mistake in the form was seen. Instead of going for the correction I generated new Form 26QB and paid the TDS amount. Now, do you need to do something above the first 26QB for which I did not pay tax?

  5. I wanted to file a correction statement relating to the short deduction of the TDS amount. I have paid the sum on line. I clicked on Request for correction button under Defaults drop-down button, Selected relevant F.Y., Quarter, Form Type & On-line correction category & clicked on submitting Request button. But when I clicked on Track Request Button under Defaults drop-down, nothing is showing. Please assist. Thank you
