Form 27A is a summary of TDS return (Form 24, 26 or 27), which contains control totals of ‘Amount Paid’ and ‘Income tax deducted at source’
Form 27B is a summary of e-TCS return (Form 27E) which contains ‘Amount Paid’ and ‘Income Tax Collected at Source’. The control totals mentioned on Form 27A/ 27B should match with the corresponding control totals in e-TDS/e-TCS return file.

After Validating the input file, copy the *.FVU file to a Floppy/CD and enclose it with a covering Letter (Form 27A) duly signed by the responsible person.
