This error usually happens because the TDS statement for the selected **Financial Year, Quarter, and Form Type** has not yet been processed or approved on the TRACES portal.
Here are a few steps you can follow to resolve the issue:
1. **Verify Statement Filing:**
* Ensure that the TDS return for the relevant **financial year, quarter, and form type (e.g., 26Q)** has been successfully filed and accepted by the Income Tax Department.
2. **Check Statement Status on TRACES:**
* Log in to the TRACES portal. * Go to **"Statement Status"** and confirm that your statement is **processed and approved**. * If the status is **Pending or Rejected**, you will not be able to generate/download Form 16A.
3. **Wait for Processing Time:**
* Sometimes, after successful filing, it takes a few days for the statement to be processed on TRACES. * Wait 2-3 days and try again.
4. **Select Correct Financial Year, Quarter & Form Type:**
* Double-check you have selected the correct **Financial Year**, **Quarter**, and **Form Type (26Q for TDS on payments other than salaries)** before submitting the download request.
5. **Reconciliation & Correction:**
* If there are errors in your TDS return, rectify them and upload a correction return. * Only after the correction is accepted can you generate Form 16A.
6. **Contact TRACES Support:**
* If you have verified all the above and still face issues, contact the TRACES helpdesk for assistance.

**Summary:** This error means the TDS statement you want the certificate for is either not yet processed or not correctly filed on TRACES. Ensure your statement is filed, accepted, and processed before requesting Form 16A download.
