Follow the steps below to generate eTDS

1. Under Reports > Form 24Q > Overview click on Generate eTDS button.
2. Save the text file (form24Q1.txt) for further processing. The eTDS file should be validated using the file validation utility FVU.

Additional Information
A salient feature of the new FVU is the ability to compare the challan information entered in the application against the information available with the Income Tax Department. In case the information does not match, a warning file is generated. You can still file the returns with the warning file.
Brief information on how to do the challan information comparison is provided here:

1. You would need to go to the NSDL-OLTAS Challan Enquiry site.
2. Click on the TAN Based View button.
3. On the Challan Status Query for Tax Payer page, enter your TAN number and the period.
4. Download the Challan file.
5. In the FVU application, select this file and go ahead with the validation.
6. If the “Challan amount, Date, Serial no and BSR code” of all the Challans in your eTDS return does not match with the downloaded file, then a warning file will be created.
7. This file can be reviewed and the issues fixed.
8. As informed earlier, this is only a warning file and the comparison activity is optional. You can still file your eTDS returns.
