Hide all | View all

Will the TIN-FC give any acknowledgement/receipt for AIR?
In case the AIR file is complete in all aspects TIN-FC will issue a provisional receipt to you. The provisional receipt issued by TIN-FC is deemed to be the proof of AIR furnished by you.
What if my AIR is not accepted by TIN-FC, how will I know the reason for rejection?
In case of non acceptance of your AIR file, TIN-FC will issue a Non-Acceptance Memo which will state reason for rejection.
Under what circumstances the AIR will not be accepted?
The AIR will not be accepted in the following cases:
  • Improper label affixed on the computer media. Label must have Filer’s name, TAN, PAN (except Government Filers), Form No. and Financial Year.
  • Computer media not submitted or found to be corrupt or contains virus or is non-readable.
  • More than one computer media is used for furnishing one AIR.
  • Physical Form 61A (Part A) not submitted along with AIR file.
  • Form 61A (Part A) not duly filled in or signed/verified.
  • Overwriting/striking on Form 61A (Part A) not ratified by person who has signed Form 61A (Part A).
  • AIR file compressed using compression utilities other than Winzip 8.1 or ZipItFast 3.0 or higher version.
  • The return file present on the computer media is not the upload file generated by the AIR FVU
  • Mismatch of PAN or TAN mentioned on Form 61A (Part A) with AIR file.
  • Mismatch of name of filer mentioned on Form 61A (Part A) with AIR file but no document submitted in support of name appearing on Form 61A (Part A).
  • Mismatch of control totals mentioned on Form 61A (Part A) with the totals displayed by SAM.
  • Financial Year is not valid.
Can I file my AIR if I do not have the PAN of the transacting parties and these transacting parties have not given the Form No. 60/61?
Mapping between Transacting party- PAN- 60/61
Sr. No. Type of Transacting Party PAN Form 60/61 Remarks
1 Government Optional NULL File - accepted
2 Non-Government Valid NULL File - accepted
3 Non-Government NULL Y File - accepted
4 Non-Government NULL N File - Rejected

As per above matrix, if transacting party is Non-Government, your case will belong to serial no. 4 and accordingly the file will not be accepted. However, AIR can be filed without quoting PAN of Government transacting parties as per Sr. no. 1.
