Is is necessary to file TDS returns where the deductor has not deducted ant TDS in previous quarter,if yes then how to file NIL returns as I am not able to create id on TRACES portal. It shows following errors :- Invalid Details could be because of i. TAN Not Available in TAN MASTER OR ii. All the statements filed for Financial Year 2009-10 and onwards are in cancelled state OR iii. All the statements filed for Financial Year 2009-10 and onwards are NIL Statements (having ALL challans with amount=0)
