21 July 2024 The error code T-FV-3173 in the TDS return indicates that there is a mismatch between the name of the deductor (the entity deducting TDS) as reported in your TDS statement and the name of the deductor as per the TAN (Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number) master database maintained by the Income Tax Department (ITD).

### Resolution Steps:

1. **Verify Name Consistency**: Ensure that the name of the deductor mentioned in your TDS statement exactly matches the name recorded in the TAN master database of the ITD. Even minor differences such as spelling variations, punctuation, or abbreviations can trigger this error.

2. **Check TAN Master Database**: Visit the Income Tax Department's official website and access the TAN master database section. Use your TAN number to retrieve and verify the exact name registered with the ITD.

3. **Correct the Name**: If you find any discrepancies between the name in your TDS statement and the name in the TAN master database, update your TDS statement with the correct name. Ensure that it matches exactly with the name as per the TAN master database.

4. **Re-upload TDS Statement**: After making the necessary corrections:
- Generate a revised TDS statement (form 24Q, 26Q, etc.) with the corrected name of the deductor.
- Ensure that all other details in the TDS statement are accurate and consistent with the TAN master database.

5. **Resubmit the TDS Return**: Upload the corrected TDS statement through the TRACES portal or the software you use for filing TDS returns. Double-check all entries before submission to avoid further errors.

6. **Monitor for Acknowledgement**: After submission, monitor the TRACES portal or the software for the acknowledgment receipt. The error should not reappear if the name discrepancy has been resolved correctly.

### Additional Tips:

- **Documentation**: Maintain records of the corrections made and the steps taken to resolve the error. This documentation will be helpful in case of future audits or inquiries.

- **Regular Updates**: Ensure that any changes in the deductor's details (such as name, address, etc.) are promptly updated in the TAN master database to avoid such errors in future filings.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the T-FV-3173 error and successfully file your TDS return with the correct information matching the ITD's records. If you encounter persistent issues or have specific questions, consider reaching out to the GST helpdesk or consulting with a tax professional for further assistance.
