Form No. 137

After preparation of Form No. 137, the Accounts officer can verify the same by using the Form No. 137 File Validation Utility which is freely downloadable from Protean TIN website tinpan.proteantech.in

Form No. 137 File Validation Utility is a program developed by Protean (formerly NSDL eGov), which is used to ascertain whether the Form No. 137 file contains any format level error(s). When Form No. 137 file is passed through FVU, it generates an 'error/response file'. If there are no errors in the Form No. 137 file, error/response file will display the control totals. If there are errors, the error/response file will display the error location and error code along with the error code description. In case any error is found, the same can be rectified and thereafter the Form No. 137 file shall be passed again through the FVU till an error-free ‘.FVU’ file is generated. It should be noted that the FVU validates only the format level accuracy of the Form No. 137.

File Validation Utility of Form No. 137 is different from the File Validation Utility of e-TDS/TCS statements.

The Form No. 137 FVU is a Java based utility. Thus, installation of JRE (Java Run-time Environment) is a pre-requisite for installing and running the Form No. 137 File Validation Utility.

If a valid file is passed through the FVU, it generates the following three files

• The upload file
• The Form No. 137 Statement Statistics Report and
• The Form No. 137.

1. Upload file: The ‘upload file’ is a valid statement containing a value generated by the FVU, which indicates that the statement has been successfully validated through the FVU.
2. Form No. 137 Statement Statistic Report: The ‘Form No. 137 Statement Statistics Report’ is a summary of the Form No. 137 successfully validated by the FVU. Details like name of Accounts Office, Financial Year, Month, total TDS/TCS transferred (₹), Total count of DDO records, count of distinct DDOs etc. are provided in this report.
3. Form No. 137: Form No. 137 is a reader friendly format of TDS/TCS Book Adjustment form. This is like the physical form of Form No. 137 in html format. It contains all the details of Accounts Officer as well as Drawing and Disbursement Officer.

In case the Form No. 137 is to be modified after validating it through the FVU, modify the original Form No. 137 (.txt file that was selected as ‘Input File’ for validation). After modification validate the .txt file again through the FVU.
