Form 24G

After preparation of Form 24G, the Accounts officer can verify the same by using the Form 24G File Validation Utility which is freely downloadable from Protean TIN website www.protean-tinpan.com

Form 24G File Validation Utility is a program developed by Protean (formerly NSDL eGov), which is used to ascertain whether the Form 24G file contains any format level error(s). When Form 24G file is passed through FVU, it generates an 'error/response file'. If there are no errors in the Form 24G file, error/response file will display the control totals. If there are errors, the error/response file will display the error location and error code along with the error code description. In case any error is found, the same can be rectified and thereafter the Form 24G file shall be passed again through the FVU till an error-free ‘.FVU’ file is generated. It should be noted that the FVU validates only the format level accuracy of the Form 24G.

File Validation Utility of Form 24G is different from the File Validation Utility of e-TDS/TCS statements.

The Form 24G FVU is a Java based utility. Thus, installation of JRE (Java Run-time Environment) is a pre-requisite for installing and running the Form 24G File Validation Utility.

If a valid file is passed through the FVU, it generates the following three files

• The upload file
• The Form 24G Statement Statistics Report and
• The Form 24G.

1. Upload file: The ‘upload file’ is a valid statement containing a value generated by the FVU, which indicates that the statement has been successfully validated through the FVU.
2. Form 24G Statement Statistic Report: The ‘Form 24G Statement Statistics Report’ is a summary of the Form 24G successfully validated by the FVU. Details like name of Accounts Office, Financial Year, Month, total TDS/TCS transferred (₹), Total count of DDO records, count of distinct DDOs etc. are provided in this report.
3. Form 24G: Form 24G is a reader friendly format of TDS/TCS Book Adjustment form. This is like the physical form of Form 24G in html format. It contains all the details of Accounts Officer as well as Drawing and Disbursement Officer.

In case the Form 24G is to be modified after validating it through the FVU, modify the original Form 24G (.txt file that was selected as ‘Input File’ for validation). After modification validate the .txt file again through the FVU.
