Hello everyone,

I am filing e-TDS returns for the first time. Now the company I am working for hasn't filed the TDS returns for a while now. 

So, I need to file the returns from FY 2004-05. 

I have learnt how to generate and validate the RPU file through the internet but I am little confused as to which files to download from the TIN website. There are two thing i need to download right: 1. RPU and FVU.. There are so many versions on the net but the TIN wesite now shows 4.0 version for RPU and 3.6 for FVU. Can i file the returns for previous years with this version only or do I need to download separate versions..

What do i do first?  

Does someone has a step by step procedure about how to go about filing the TDS return. 

Please reply with elaborated and clear answers. 

Thanks for you time.
