WHAT TO DO FOR ADD NEW CHALLAN IN CORRECTION STSTEMENT ?
The new challan addition can be done in TRACES Deductor Login, using online correction. It seems TRACES is forcing the Deductors to use online correction at TRACES website.
What if the statement relates to the period for which is not filed or corrected from traces website?
please send the details of TDS/TCS
TRACES has been indicating since 2 years to all Deductors to avoid filing repeated C9 corrections.
Many deductors are mis-using this correction type by filing partial data in Regular Return and then using correction returns to add new challans and deductions, sometimes to the tune of thousands of records.
The discontinuance in new FVU will effectively close the door on such misuse.
Ensure you report all challans and deductions in Regular Return itself.
Corrections returns are meant for inadvertent mistakes during regular return.
Totally TDS filing is very headache. Now some additional problems to it. For additions of challan and Dedcutee rows for that challans we have to obtain DSC. But as per my today experience DSC cannot be registered with TRACES. What are new and new changes ( new headaches) going to be made…..
How can the deductees be added to the challans added online ? the conso file does not show the challans added
