TRACES registration for deductors and TAN login on e-filing
What this means, checked by a CA
To download Form 16 and 16A, see TDS defaults and file corrections, your TAN needs a TRACES login and a TAN login on the income tax e-filing site. We register the TAN on TRACES using details from your last filed statement, activate it, then register the same TAN on e-filing so returns like Form 144 can be uploaded.

One time, + 18% GST
- Same day once a processed statement, its token number and challan details are available; e-filing approval adds a few days
- Due: After the first non-nil TDS statement is processed; before the first certificate download
How we do it: IDFD
