The NRI non-individual will be asked to enter the PAN number of the authorized person and Date of Birth (D.o.B). Hence, they will submit a request for the PAN validation and D.o.B and an e-Mail will be sent to the user with the success or rejection message.
If the NRI user has submitted the details of PAN of the authorized person and proceeds with the Form 26QB correction tab, then the following error message will be displayed.
“Error Message: Updation of Authorized Person Details is in the process. The updations confirmed will be informed through an e-Mail. Hence, the user can then proceed for the 26QB correction”

Hey @HarishMehta
Taxpayers or deductee cannot directly download form 16/form16A, the option to download Form 16/ 16A has been given to the Deductor. So, if you need Form 16 / 16A for TDS deducted by your current or previous employer or deductor you will have to contact them for the same. There is no option available on TRACES whereby you can download it yourself.
Hope this helps!
Hey @Dia_malhotra
Yes, individuals can still register as a taxpayer on TRACES even if they do not have TAN of the deductor by providing:
• Assessment Year
• Challan Serial Number and
• Amount of tax you have paid
Hope this helps!
In my Justification Report it shows an interest payable error whereas I’ve already paid the interest for that particular month According to the regulations what could be the reason for this?
Hi @saad,
According to regulations, interest payment default/errors may arise due to error in challan details , short deduction, short payment, late deposit of TDS amount. Here, you can file correction statement and revise the return.
Hope this helps!
@AkashJhaveri @Saad_C @Kaushal_Soni @Divya_Singhvi @Laxmi_Navlani can you help with this?
Hey @raopreetham, the first thing I would recommend you to do is to run the Emsigner as an administrator. Also, if it still does not seem to work, install the below mentioned JAVA fixer software and run it as an administrator and hopefully this would resolve your issue.

hello, i want to cancel the TDS on sale of property (26QB) which i created in hurry. i have made login and tried the TRACES refund option. But the total amount of TDS is “Consumed” and Max refund amount is zero.
What is my option now? TDS was paid on 16th Oct ( 6 days back). Hoping for a solution on this.
Hi @nisshant
26QB is the challan cum return statement. As soon as you file the form, TDS amount paid by you gets utilized. There are few corrections that are allowed in form 26QB. You can refer to the article below. You cannot get the refund of the taxes paid through an online method. You can contact concerned Assessing Officer (AO) of the Income Tax Department (ITD).
You can also contact Aaykar Sampark Kendra (ASK) on Toll Free No. 1800-180-1961 to ask for help.
Hope this helps!
Hi,
I had raised a form26-QB correction request, but since the correction request also had some errors, I requested the AO officer to cancel the correction request.
Now as the old request has been closed, I would like to file a new correction request. Can I register DSC and file this new request for auto approval?
