good reply

"Filing of Nil Statement in form No. 61A is not mandatory under section 285BA read with rule 114E ,,,,,,,,,, but to be on safer side Assessee may consider filing such return.

Further to maintain consistency Assessee who has filed Annual Information Return for Financial Year 2015-16 may consider filing such return for financial year 2016-17 too despite no specified transaction in Financial Year 2016-17." : CA Sundeep Kanoi.

@ Mr. Surana: The probable solution as suggested by you, doesn't work. Even after generation of ITDREIN, the SFT (with the reference of the ITDREIN no.) was submitted, but without upload of form 61a, no records is generated in system about the submission.

Transaction ID is generated and we can see our response in Submitted Response even without filing form 61A...

Well most of my known CA are just submitting the SFT PR and not filing any NIL reporting Form 61A... since they are of the view that it is not Mandatory to file Nil Reporting Form 61 .

but it is always better to wait for clarification from Department or ICAI on it...

@ Mr. Surana:  Its good if transaction ID is generated without filing form 61a, as thereby we can at least submit the NIL transaction responce as required in complience. I tried to submit the SFT report after ITDREIN  but without registration of any signatory authority; but (may be because of internet flutuatuion), the transaction ID is not generated.

It would be great help to all such assessee without any such transactions to respond to compliance, if you can throw more light on complete process.

Waiting for anymore clarification from department/ICAI, in that case may not be necessary.

Rule 114E Applicable.

No need to file form 61A in case no transaction exists, but file SFT preliminary report online.
