With effect from 01.10.2013 new version of FVU i.e. 4.00 is published by the TIN-NSDL in place of FVU 3.7 with latest new key features. The latest FVU Ver. 4.00 contains "NIL" TDS/TCS Return but while generating validation through FVU Ver. 4.00, TDS/TCS statement can not be filed without quoting any valid Challan or deductee row. It means that NIL TDS Return no needs to submit TDS/TCS Return and thus cpc has also released important instructions on 07.10.2013 in the interest of deductors about submission of TDS/TCS return...
