Analysis
Status U or O usually means the employer's challan details in the TDS statement do not match the bank's record, or more was claimed than paid. CPC may not give full credit for such entries. The deductor fixes this by correcting challan details or paying the shortfall. Status F is what you want before filing.
Close
- Note entries with status other than F.
