section in the sheet to provide applicable data in correct format. (Formats will get reflected while filling
data.)

II. Validating Sheets: Click on the ''Validate this sheet" button to ensure that the sheet has been
properly filled in and also data has been furnished in proper format. If
there are some errors on the sheet, e-filing utility will prompt you to
correct the same.
|
|
|
In such cases, e-filling utility will not allow
you to proceed further until you rectify the errors.
|
|
|
There is "Validate Return and
Submit" button on the last sheet "Distributor" for
validating all the entries in your return. If you click on this button,
utility will validate all the sheets one by one. In case there is some error
identified on some sheet, then it will prompt you about all the errors in
your return and will ask to revalidate the sheet.
|
|
|
III. Generate XML: After
all the required fields have been filled in properly and validated, clicking
on ''Validate Return and Submit'' button will re-check all the sheets
and a new file in XML format will be generated.
|
|
|
Both files will be saved in the same folder in your
system where e-filing Utility was saved initially.
|
|
|
IV. Upload XML file into ACES
application: For uploading the XML file generated by the
e-filing utility, log into ACES application and access RET > e-filing >
upload to upload generated xml file of Return. On Upload screen, provide the
required information and browse to select the XML file from the saved
location and submit the same.
