What is the Upload File in the new File Validation Utility?
Earlier the e-TDS/TCS return file after validating using File Validation Utility (FVU) had to be filed with TIN-FC. Now ‘Upload File’ that is generated by the FVU when the return is validated using the FVU has to be filed with TIN-FC. This ‘upload file’ is a file with the same filename as the ‘input file’ but with extension .fvu. Example ‘input file’ name is 27EQGov.txt, the upload file generated will be 27EQGov.fvu.
Earlier the “Input file” of the File Validation Utility (FVU) had to be filed with TIN FC. Now “Upload File” which has some additional information such as the version no. of FVU has to be filed with TIN FC. This is a file which is generated by the FYU after the return /file prepared by the Return Preparation Utility (RPU) is validated using the FYU.
