Supported certificates
The API supports these certificates under the Income-tax Act, 2025.
The Income Tax Department documents these mappings in its Form 130 FAQs, Form 131 FAQs, and Form 133 FAQs.
How it works
1
Request certificates
Submit a request for the TAN, certificate type, and tax period.
2
Check progress
Check the job status periodically, or configure a webhook before submitting the job to receive a completion notification.
3
Download certificates
When the job succeeds, use the download URLs in the status response to download ZIP files containing the certificate PDFs.
Before you start
- A Sandbox access token. See the Quickstart guide.
- The TAN and its TRACES credentials.
- The certificate type, tax year, and quarter for the request.
- A statement that TRACES has processed, with certificates available for download.
Form 130 certificate generation is available after the tax year ends and TRACES processes the corresponding Form 138 statement.
