10 August 2024 To cancel a TDS regular paper return and switch to filing a regular e-TDS return, you need to follow a specific procedure. The process involves filing a revised TDS return and ensuring that your data is corrected. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

### Steps to Cancel a TDS Paper Return and File an E-TDS Return

1. **Prepare for Cancellation:**
- **Identify the Issue:** Verify the discrepancies in PANs and any other issues in the paper return that need correction.
- **Collect Details:** Gather details of the original paper return, including the acknowledgment number, period, and other relevant information.

2. **File a Revised Paper Return:**
- **Obtain the Original Return Details:** Make sure you have a copy of the original TDS paper return that was filed.
- **Prepare the Revised Return:** Correct the errors in the original TDS paper return. Use the corrected PAN details and ensure that all information is accurate.
- **File a Revised Return:** Submit the revised paper return to the TDS Assessing Officer (AO) at your local tax office. Clearly mark it as a “Revised Return” and provide a reason for the revision.

3. **Switch to E-TDS Filing:**
- **Download E-TDS Software:** Download the latest version of the TDS e-filing software (such as the NSDL or the Income Tax Department’s software) from the official website.
- **Prepare the E-TDS Return:** Enter the corrected data into the e-TDS software, including all accurate PANs and other required details.
- **Generate the E-TDS File:** Generate the e-TDS file (in .xml format) from the software.

4. **Upload the E-TDS Return:**
- **Log in to the TRACES Portal:** Access the TRACES (TDS Reconciliation Analysis and Correction Enabling System) portal or the NSDL e-Gov portal for e-TDS filing.
- **Upload the E-TDS File:** Upload the .xml file generated from the e-TDS software.
- **Verify and Submit:** Follow the portal’s instructions to verify the uploaded data and submit the e-TDS return.

5. **Obtain Acknowledgment:**
- **Receive Acknowledgment:** After submission, you will receive an acknowledgment receipt for the e-TDS return. Keep a copy of this receipt for your records.

6. **Track the Status:**
- **Monitor Status:** Regularly check the status of your e-TDS return on the TRACES portal or the NSDL e-Gov portal to ensure that it has been processed without any issues.

### Important Points to Consider:

- **No Formal Cancellation Required:** There is no formal process to cancel a TDS paper return directly. Instead, submitting a revised return and switching to e-filing is the appropriate method.
- **Revised Return:** When submitting the revised paper return, ensure it is correctly marked as “Revised” and properly filed with the TDS Assessing Officer.
- **Filing Deadlines:** Adhere to the deadlines for filing revised returns and e-TDS submissions to avoid penalties and interest.

### Contacting Authorities:

- **TDS Assessing Officer:** If you need further guidance or have specific issues, contact your local TDS Assessing Officer or the Income Tax Department’s helpdesk.
- **TRACES or NSDL Helpdesk:** For technical issues with e-TDS filing, contact the TRACES or NSDL helpdesk for assistance.

By following these steps, you can successfully transition from a paper TDS return to an e-TDS return and ensure that all discrepancies are corrected.
