I received a TAN number recently and want to create account on Traces to file return but while registration it shows
"You can NOT register on TRACES at present due to one of the reasons i. You have not filed any statement for the mentioned TAN OR ii. All the statements filed for Financial Year 2009-10 and onwards are in cancelled state OR iii. All the statements filed for Financial Year 2009-10 and onwards are NIL Statements (having ALL challans with amount=0)"
So should i need to file a return manually first for registration? Or what is the procedure?
