10 July 2024 When you need to upload two CSI (Challan Serial Number Identification) files in Spectrum for TCS (Tax Collected at Source) quarterly return, and you have one challan from OLTAS TIN and another from the Income Tax portal (not showing in OLTAS TIN), here’s how you can proceed:

### Step-by-Step Process:

1. **Download CSI Files:**
- **From OLTAS TIN:** Download the CSI file for the challan that is shown in OLTAS TIN. This file can typically be downloaded from the TIN-NSDL website or through your authorized bank's net banking portal.

- **From Income Tax Portal:** For the challan paid through the Income Tax portal (which does not show in OLTAS TIN), download the CSI file from the Income Tax e-filing portal. Navigate to the “View 26AS” section to download the file related to the specific challan.

2. **Prepare CSI Files:**
- Ensure that each downloaded CSI file corresponds to the correct challan and contains accurate information, including the details required for TCS quarterly return filing.

3. **Upload in Spectrum:**
- Log in to Spectrum portal using your credentials.
- Navigate to the section where you upload CSI files for TCS quarterly return filing.

4. **Upload Process:**
- **Select Files:** Choose the option to upload multiple CSI files if available. Otherwise, upload each file sequentially.

- **File Selection:** Select the appropriate CSI file from your system for each challan (one from OLTAS TIN and one from the Income Tax portal).

5. **Complete Upload:**
- Follow the prompts to upload each CSI file to Spectrum.
- Verify that the details of each challan are correctly reflected in the system.

6. **Submission Confirmation:**
- After uploading both CSI files, verify that Spectrum confirms successful submission of the TCS quarterly return. Ensure there are no errors or discrepancies reported during the upload process.

### Additional Tips:

- **Accuracy:** Double-check the details in each CSI file to ensure accuracy before uploading. Any discrepancies could lead to issues in the TCS return filing process.

- **Documentation:** Keep copies of the downloaded CSI files and any related documentation for record-keeping and future reference.

- **Technical Support:** If you encounter technical issues or have specific questions about uploading CSI files in Spectrum, consider reaching out to the support team of your authorized bank or the Income Tax department for assistance.

By following these steps, you can effectively upload two CSI files in Spectrum for your TCS quarterly return, incorporating both the challan from OLTAS TIN and the one from the Income Tax portal. This ensures compliance with TCS reporting requirements and accurate submission of your return.
