My client have two AOP business. One of the had deducted TDS for professional services and duely deposited the same for the financial year 2011-12. While filing the return, they have mistakenly quoted a wrong TAN number. They have registered the same TAN number in NSDL site also. They have mistakenly used the other AOP's TAN. How can they rectify the mistake ? How to change the registrered TAN number in NSDL site ? Anyone please help me to advice them. Thank you.

How is it possible? Could you please explain the problem in detail. Asking this because, the TAN quoted in the return would be verified with the name while uploading the same at the NSDL center.

Sir, actually they dont know how to use the NSDL return preparation utility. So they have given the information in a physical format to the NSDL service centre. That service centre didnt check the accuracy of quoted TAN number and they have filed the return with wrong TAN. My client also used to register the wrong TAN to download the TDS certificate. Please guide us.

Prasanth Sir

The solution to the problem is

1. Cancel the return which was filed with wrong TAN

2. After two days of cancellation, file new ETDS return with correct TAN

As per the present procedure, all the assesses has to file their TDS returen only thr' electronic mode. I don't know which is the TIN centre who has accepted the physical form. As per their internal circular, even thought the return is filed physically it will not be rejected, but the clients have to be advised to file the return only in electronic mode.

I think this will solve your problem.

If you file TDS return electronically, you can have the following advantages

1. Using the Return preparation utility (RPU) is very easy

2. No cost is involved. You can download the updated version then and there from NSDL site.

3. In the RPU software, there are inbuit validation tools, which will solve so many problems like mismatching of TAN, Challan Numbers and TDS amount paid.

So try this.
