The Counterfoil given at the bank does not contain the Challan Identification Number (shortly referred to as CIN), which number should I quote in my ER return?
The bank has to necessarily give CIN for the payment made by you. CIN is the combination of: a. BSR Code which is 7 digits (unique for each Bank Branch), b. Date of tender/deposit which is 8 digits (DDMMYYYY) and c. Challan Serial Number (5 digits) given by the Branch for each transaction. All these details should appear in the computerized acknowledgement/receipt.
