Can a Belated return u/s 139(4) be revised u/s 139(5) ? if not, kindly quote the case law/notification of the IT dept.

Thanks in advance.

04 March 2010 Voluntary return under section 139(4) cannot be revised - Section 139(5) permits a later or revised return to be filed only when the return was filed under section 139(1). Filing of revised return is not contemplated under section 139(5) in cases governed by section 139(4) - Kumar Jagdish Chandra Sinha v. CIT [1996] 86 Taxman 122 (SC)/Dr. (Mrs.) Satyabhama Thakur v. CIT [1997] 223 ITR 791 (Pat.).

Only return filed u/s 139(1) or in pursuance of a notice u/s 142 can be revise. A belated return filed u/s 139(4) can not be revised-" Kumar Jagdish Chandra Sinha V CIT [1996] 86 Taxmann 122(SC).
