Error Number ITD-EXEC2002 | How to Fix the Error

An “ITD-EXEC 2002” error code is an internal server error that is most commonly associated with Indian tax-related software, particularly the TDS/TCS Return Preparation Utility (RPU) or other tools from the Income Tax Department (ITD).

This error code indicates that the software failed to perform an operation, usually because of an issue with the system’s configuration, an invalid input, or a problem with the Java runtime environment. It is a client-side error, which means the problem is on your computer, not on the server.

Common Causes of the ITD-EXEC 2002 Error

• Outdated Java Version:

  • The most frequent cause is using an outdated or incompatible version of the Java Development Kit (JDK) or Java Runtime Environment (JRE). The e-filing utilities often require a specific, certified version to run correctly.

• Incorrect System Date and Time:

  • If your computer’s date and time are not correctly synchronized, it can cause authentication and execution errors.

• Corrupted Utility Files:

  • The tax utility files themselves may have become corrupted during the download or extraction process.

• Operating System Conflicts:

  • Security settings, antivirus software, or other programs on your system can sometimes block the utility from running properly.

• Invalid Input Data:

  • The error can also occur if the data you have entered into the utility is in an incorrect format or if a required field is missing.

How to Fix the Error

1. Update or Reinstall Java:

   • This is the most critical step. Uninstall your current Java version and download the latest, official version of the JRE from the Oracle website.
   • Ensure that you are using a version compatible with the tax utility you are using. The official website for the utility will usually specify the required Java version.

2. Verify System Date and Time:

   • Ensure your computer’s date and time are correct and set to “Synchronize automatically” with an internet time server. Incorrect time can cause a validation error.

3. Download a Fresh Copy of the Utility:

   • Delete the current tax utility folder from your computer.
   • Download a new, fresh copy of the utility from the official Income Tax Department website.
   • Extract the contents of the ZIP file to a new, clean folder, preferably one not in your C:\ drive.

4. Run as Administrator and Change Compatibility:

   • Right-click the utility’s executable file (usually a .jar or .exe file).
   • Select “Run as administrator.”
   • You can also try running it in compatibility mode for an older version of Windows if the error persists.

5. Check Your Data for Errors:

   • Carefully review all the data you have entered in the utility. Look for any formatting errors, missing fields, or invalid characters.
