While preparing a correction statement, the record to be updated/deleted is required to be identified by its sequence number as well as values of certain fields as per regular statement. List of fields used for identifying a record are as under:

1. Challan detail – CIN details and deposit amount

The correction statement should contain values of the fields referred to above as per regular statement along with the corrections made. Once the correction statement is received at TIN central system, the values of the identification fields are verified with the corresponding values as per TIN central system.

If the values match, the correction statement will get accepted. If the values do not match, the correction statement will get rejected at the TIN central system.

Example: If the value in the field Last Bank challan no. (i.e. challan no. as per regular statement) in the correction statement does not match the corresponding details as per the regular statement in the TIN central system, the correction statement will get rejected for the reason “Last Bank challan serial number of the correction statement is not matching with corresponding statement details available at TIN Central system”.

9. Can I rectify the details of a challan if the status of the same on the NSDL website is displayed as ‘Booked’?

Once the challan is updated with status ‘Booked’ modifications or rectifications to the details of the said challan are not allowed. As a result any correction TDS/TCS statement with modifications/rectifications on a booked challan will get rejected at the TIN central system.
