Frequently Asked Questions

What is a .fvu file and why is official Java validation mandatory?

A File Validation Utility (.fvu) file is an encrypted, tamper-proof electronic return file required by the Income Tax Department and Protean (NSDL). The Government requires every Form 24Q, 26Q, 27Q, and 27EQ return to pass the official Java FVU validation engine to verify TAN formatting, PAN validity, Challan CIN matching, and statutory tax calculations.

Where do deductors in Telangana get the .csi Challan Status Inquiry file?

Deductors log in to the Income Tax Department e-Filing portal (eportal.incometax.gov.in) with their TAN credentials, navigate to 'e-File' > 'e-Pay Tax' > 'Challan Status Inquiry (CSI)', select the relevant date range for the quarter, and download the .csi file.
