Friends,
Income Tax Department has made it compulsory for all deductors who deducts tax at source from the payment made by him as Salaries, Commission, Interest, Job Work etc. to file Income Tax Return in electronic form by filing ONLINE Return on quarterly basis. To make it convenient for the Deductors, Income Tax Department provided the facility to upload your return by downloading the latest Return Preparation Utility (RPU). With the help of this utility one can easily file quarterly Income Tax Return by just filling the required information and the same can be uploaded form any nodal center as established by the NSDL. If you have already filed your Income Tax Return and after filing you find an error in the return, then you can also revise you return by using the Correction Statement Utility of NSDL.
Guidelines for usage of these RPUs are provided in the respective utilities. The users are advised to read these guidelines carefully before the utility is used to prepare the returns. Users may ensure that they download the latest version of the utility at the time of preparation of return.
Users must pass the e-TDS/ TCS return file generated using RPU through the File Validation Utility (FVU) to ensure format level accuracy of the file. This utility is also freely downloadable from NSDL TIN website. In case the e-TDS/TCS return contains any errors, user should rectify the same in the excel utility itself. After rectifying the errors, user should pass the rectified e-TDS/ TCS return through the FVU. This process should be continued till an error free e-TDS/ TCS return is generated.
