Q2 How does the e-TBAF File Validation Utility works?
A2 e-TBAF File Validation Utility is a program developed by NSDL which is used to ascertain whether the e-TBAF file contains any format level error(s). When e-TBAF file is passed through FVU it generates an 'error/response file'. If there are no errors in the e-TBAF 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 e-TBAF file shall be passed again through the FVU till an error-free file. It should be noted that the FVU validates only the format level accuracy of the e-TBAF.[Source : NSDL]
