The error message "Challan details mentioned in the statement not present in the challan file imported" typically occurs when there is a mismatch or discrepancy between the details provided in the TDS correction statement (Form 26Q or Form 27Q) and the actual challan details available in the import file.
Here are some steps you can take to resolve this issue:
1. **Verify Challan Details**: Double-check the details mentioned in your TDS correction statement against the actual challan details available in the import file. Ensure that the BSR Code, Challan Serial Number (CSN), and other details match exactly. Even minor discrepancies can lead to this error.
2. **Rectify Data Entry Errors**: Sometimes, errors occur due to incorrect data entry while preparing the correction statement. Review the data entered and correct any mistakes or typographical errors.
3. **Check Challan Status**: Ensure that the challan mentioned in the correction statement is valid and has been successfully deposited with the government. If the challan has not been processed or is pending validation, it may not appear in the import file.
4. **Import File Format**: Verify that the import file (such as FVU file) you are using matches the required format specified by the Income Tax Department. Ensure that the file contains all necessary details including valid challans.
5. **Reconcile Data**: Conduct a reconciliation between your internal records and the details submitted in the TDS correction statement. This can help identify any discrepancies or missing information.
6. **Technical Assistance**: If you are using software for preparing and filing TDS returns, check for updates or patches that address compatibility issues with the import file format. Sometimes, software updates are released to resolve such errors.
7. **Contact Helpdesk**: If the issue persists and you are unable to resolve it, consider reaching out to the Income Tax Department's helpdesk or support team. They can provide specific guidance or troubleshoot technical issues related to TDS return filing.
It's important to address this error promptly as incorrect or incomplete TDS returns can lead to penalties or delays in processing. Double-checking all details and ensuring accuracy in data entry are crucial steps to successfully filing your TDS correction statement.
