The AO should pass the Form 24G (Regular/Correction) file
generated using Preparation Utility through the File Validation Utility
(FVU) to ensure format level accuracy of the file. This utility is also
freely downloadable from TIN website. In case the Form 24G contains any
errors, the AO should rectify the same. After rectifying the errors,
user should pass the rectified Form 24G through the FVU. This process
should be continued till an error-free Form 24G is generated. Form 24G
(regular/correction) prepared from F.Y. 2005-06 onwards can be validated
using this utility.
The Form 24G FVU is a Java based utility. JRE (Java
Run-time Environment) [versions: SUN JRE: 1.4.2_02 or 1.4.2_03 or
1.4.2_04 or IBM JRE: 1.4.1.0] should be installed on the computer where
the Form 24G FVU is being installed. JRE is freely downloadable from
http://java.sun.com and http:// www. ibm. com/ developerworks/ iava/ idk
or you can request your computer vendor (hardware) to install the same
for you.

• Form 24G FVU.bat: This is a setup program for installation of FVU.
