It seems like you're encountering an issue related to the version compatibility of the FVU (File Validation Utility) while trying to file your TDS return (Form 24Q for Q4 FY 2021-22). Here’s how you can resolve this problem:
### Understanding the Issue:
1. **FVU Version Mismatch:** - The error message indicates that the FVU version you are using (4.1) is considered old or outdated for the current filing requirements. - The validation may initially pass in the RPU (Return Preparation Utility) with a warning, but it will likely be rejected when submitted to the Income Tax portal.
2. **Requirement for Latest FVU:** - Income Tax Department periodically updates the FVU to ensure compatibility with their systems and to incorporate any changes in validation rules. - Using an outdated FVU version may lead to rejection of the TDS return when uploaded to the Income Tax portal.
### Steps to Resolve:
1. **Download Latest FVU:** - Visit the TIN-NSDL website (https://www.tin-nsdl.com/) or the Income Tax e-filing portal to download the latest version of the FVU. - Ensure that you download the FVU version that is specifically recommended for the assessment year and form type you are filing (24Q for FY 2021-22).
2. **Update RPU Software:** - After downloading the latest FVU, check if there are any updates available for your RPU software (version 4.1). - Install any updates or patches provided by the Income Tax Department to ensure compatibility with the latest FVU version.
3. **Revalidate TDS Return:** - Open your TDS return file in the updated RPU software. - Validate the TDS return using the updated FVU version that you have downloaded.
4. **Submit Corrected TDS Return:** - After successful validation with the updated FVU, generate the corrected TDS return file. - Upload the corrected TDS return file to the Income Tax e-filing portal for submission.
5. **Monitor Submission Status:** - Check the status of your submission on the Income Tax portal after uploading. - Ensure that there are no further errors or rejections related to FVU version mismatch.
### Additional Tips:
- **Documentation:** Keep records of the versions of RPU and FVU used, as well as any communications or error messages encountered during the process.
- **Technical Support:** If you continue to face difficulties or encounter specific error messages during validation or submission, consider reaching out to the e-filing helpdesk or technical support provided by the Income Tax Department.
By following these steps and ensuring that you are using the latest version of the FVU and RPU software, you should be able to resolve the issue of FVU version mismatch and successfully submit your TDS return for Q4 FY 2021-22 without rejection.
