I HAVE HEARD AND SEEN A UTILITY ON NSDL'S WEBSITE CALLED RPU CAN WE USE IT FOR GENERATING RETURN FILES, FORM 27A & 16/16A WHICH WE SUBMIT AT NSDL BRANCH ALSO GIVE DETAILS OF OTHER UTILITIES ON GOVT WEBSITES WHICH ARE FREE OF COST AND CAN BE USED EFFICIENTLY INSTEAD OF PAYING TO PRIVATE SOFTWARES. ALSO, GIVE THE DIFFERENCE OF CONVINIENCE IN USING GOVT UTILITIES AND PVT SOFTWARES

YOU CAN ONLY PREPARE RETURN FROM RPU AVAILABLE AT NSDL WEBSITE BUT YOU CAN NOT GENERATE FORM 27A, FORM 16, FORM 16A FROM THAT SOFTWARE. YOU NEED TO BUY A TDS SOFTWARE TO BE ABLE TO GENERATE FORM 27A, FORM 16/16A. THESE SOFTWARE ARE ALSO VERY EASY TO OPERATE. YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY ANNUAL RENEWAL FEE EVERY YEAR FOR THESE SOWTWARES (SPECTRUM, SARAL TDS, TAXMANN TDS ETC.)
