TDS Returns – Form 24Q – Q4 (FY: 23-24) – FVU Errors
While preparing the TDS Returns for Salary (Form 24Q – Quarter 4) pertaining to Financial Year 2023-24, many are facing challenges as they are encountering errors having code T_FV_6351 and T_FV_6354 at the time of File Validation through the Utility (FVU).
These errors are encountered for those employees who fall under the ‘New Regime’ of taxation. Please note these do not apply for employees who have opted for the ‘Old Regime’.
The error description, possible reasons and it’s resolution are summarized in the table below:
| Error Code | Error Description | Reasons & Resolution |
| T_FV_6351 | This relates to the value under ‘Other Special Allowances u/s 10(14)’ for employees under the ‘New Regime’. | For cases where value u/s 10(14) is NIL, the value ‘0.00’ needs to be passed to the FVU.
While generating the file for validation through the FVU, this needs to be taken care of. The software being used should be taking care of this. |
| T_FV_6354 | This relates to the incorrect values under ‘Travel Concession u/s 10(5)’ and ‘House Rent Allowance u/s 10(13A)’ for employees under the ‘New Regime. | Sections 10(5) and 10(13A) is not applicable under the ‘New Regime’.
The values for both these should be ‘NULL’ or ‘No Value’ and passed on to the FVU. The software being used should be taking care of this. |
These errors as generated by the FVU is typically owing to the incorrect values / format that is being passed to the File Validation Utility for employees being passed, maybe, by the software in use.
The popular software for TDS / TCS Return Preparation, TDSMAN has sufficiently addressed these issues in synchronization with the versions of FVU Utilities released since the beginning of the 4th quarter of FY:23-24.
For software users facing this issue, may use use TDSMAN to import the data from the text file and generate error-free FVU validated file for submission of the Form 24Q-Q4 (FY:23-24).

solution for above error
sir you are right but when we select “No” under column “115 BAC(1A) [Yes/No]”to take the option of new scheme then RPU does not allow us to put zero in the fields which are mentioning in your article. What is the solution for that or only solution to use third party software
The issue is not with the value you have provided or the application allows you to provide, it is do with the text file the software application generates with your data. This text file is passed to the File Validation Utility (FVU) which is actually throwing up the error.
Maybe by updating the RPU the issue may be resolved. If the error still persists, please reach out to the developer of the RPU Utility. If nothing works, you will have to look for an alternative solution. The cause of the error is already mentioned in the article.
