TDS || Correction E-Filing → Please Select correct Correction Consolidate File to Validate E-file
Root Cause of the Error →
This error arises when multiple Consolidated Files are requested, and the incorrect file is selected during the e-filing process. Specifically, if you download multiple Consolidated Files, make corrections using the first file, but later select a subsequent Consolidated File (e.g., the second or third file) in the Consolidated File Name with Path column during validation, the issue will occur.
Example Scenario:
- Download the first Consolidated File.
- Import this file into the software via the correction window.
- Make the necessary corrections.
- In the e-filing window, if the second Consolidated File is selected instead of the first, the validation error will occur.
Resolution →
To avoid this issue, always select the correct Consolidated File.
To Check for Consolidated File Mismatch:
- Open the Corrections Window: In the corrections window, the imported Correction (Consolidated) file is already displayed.
- Verify PRN Details: Check the PRN of Regular Return and PRN of Last Correction shown in the corrections window.
- Review the Consolidated File:
- Open the Consolidated (Correction) file in a Notepad or text editor.
- Navigate to Line 2.
- After the Return Form field, locate the PRN of Regular Return and PRN of Last Correction.
- Match the PRNs: Ensure that the PRN values in the Notepad file match those displayed in the corrections window.
- Proceed with E-Filing:
- If the PRNs match correctly, proceed with e-filing the Correction Return.
- Ensuring this match will prevent any issues during the e-filing process.
By following these steps and verifying the PRN details, you can ensure a smooth and error-free e-filing process for correction returns.
