The password format to open TRACES offline correction files typically includes the following:
1. **First Four Characters:** The first four characters are usually the first four letters of your TAN (Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number).
2. **Next Four Characters:** The next four characters are typically the first four letters of your PAN (Permanent Account Number) in uppercase.
For example, if your TAN is ABCD12345E and your PAN is AAAAA1234Z, the password format would be:
- First four characters of TAN: ABCD - Next four characters of PAN: AAAA
Therefore, the password to open the TRACES offline correction file would be **ABCDAAAA**.
Please note that this is a general format, and it's important to use the exact format provided by TRACES when downloading the file. If you encounter any issues, it's best to refer to the instructions provided on the TRACES website or contact their support for assistance.
