The 26AS file is a ZIP file which is password protected. the pass word is normally the date of birth or date of incorporation. It opens with WINZIP 15 and above, which is available for free trail download

My problem is still not resolved. Winzip software is used to open extract files. But Tin-NSDL team has said to me that your 26AS status is provided in notebook file that is inside the zip folder.
And that is the notebook file which I cannot open.
