NSDL File Validation Utility 2.126

13 April 2009, NSDL TIN division has released the new file validation utility version 2.126. The new File validation utility is mandatory to be used for returns filed after 13 April 2009.

FVU 2.126 comes with following changes:

1. BSR Code mentioned in challan details should be valid one (i.e. it must be present in BSR Code Master), if invalid BSR Code is present in file, FVU will generate warning file containing details of only invalid BSR Codes.
2. PAN of deductor and its underlying deductees should not be the same, if same PAN for both deductor and deductee is present in file, FVU will generate warning file containing details of those records where the deductor and deductee PAN is same.

With these changes, NSDL has updated the FVU as well as SAM [Statement Acceptance Module] at TIN FC from 13/04/2009. So, any returns being filed after this date should be generated through FVU 2.126 only [Saral TDS Version 9.02 (9.50) or above].

Note that, this FVU has no relevance with filing 2009-10 returns including Form 24C. A new FVU for 2009-10 is expected by May-June - 2009.
