File Validation Utility (FVU)

FVU for Quarterly Returns

e-TDS /TCS returns prepared for FY 2007-08 and onwards (i.e. Forms 24Q, 26Q, 27Q and 27EQ) can be validated using this utility.

The e-TDS/TCS FVU is a Java based utility. JRE (Java Run-time Environment) [versions: SUN JRE: 1.6 onwards] should be installed on the computer where the e-TDS/TCS FVU is being installed. Java is freely downloadable from http://java.sun.com and http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk or you can ask your vendor providing computer facilities (hardware) to install the same for you.

The e-TDS/TCS FVU setup file (e-TDS/TCS FVU.exe) comprises of three files namely:

  • TDS FVU Readme.rtf: This file contains instructions for setup of the e-TDS FVU.
  • e-TDS FVU Setup.exe: This is a setup program for installation of FVU.
  • These files are in an executable zip file. These files are required for installing the e-TDS/TCS FVU.

“Please download and replace the existing folders with the latest version of FVU and RPU folders available at TIN website. Replacing only the FVU Jar file in the old folder may lead to the rejection of statement at the time of submission of the file.”

  • To extract these files, double-click on 'e-TDS FVU.exe'.
  • A 'WinZip Self-Extractor - e-TDS FVU.exe' will open.
