FVU file generation
NSDL-spec fixed-width file. Validates locally before TRACES upload.
FOR CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS
Quarterly Form 24Q / 26Q / 27Q / 27EQ in one workspace — bulk PAN validation, FVU generation, Form 16 / 16A issuance, Sec 197 certificate tracking.
Overview
TDS work is volume work.
TDS work is volume work. Per quarter, per client: validate PANs against deductee data, classify by section (192 salary, 194A interest, 194I rent, 194T new partner payments), apply correct rates with PAN-presence logic, generate the FVU file, issue Form 16 and Form 16A, and track which deductees produced Form 15G/15H or Sec 197 certificates.
Finamize handles the mechanical end. Bulk PAN validation flags inactive or invalid PANs before you generate the FVU — not after the portal rejects it. Section 234E late-fee exposure is surfaced per quarter. Sec 197 certificates are tracked with their applicable rate and expiry date so you don't deduct at the standard rate when a lower-deduction certificate is in force.
The deductor files via TRACES with their DSC. Finamize generates the FVU file and the Form 16/16A PDFs. The audit trail stays on the platform.
