I think you had typed 14,00,000/- in place of 1,40,000/- while preparing the return. Pl note the following instruction written in the 'Rectification Manual' of IT Department:
"However, there should not be any revision in income figures or new claims since then the rectification request would be rejected or rectification would be delayed. It may be clearly noted that this facility is only for correcting mistakes apparent from record."
In view of above the CPC may not accept your rectification request. You may try once. Nowadays rectification requests are made online.
if the rectification request is not accepted, you may have to go for an appeal.
I would like to have other experts opinion also in this matter.

Rectification on e-filed returns has to be e-filed necessarily. Time limit is 4 years from the end of the financial year in which order sought to be amended was passed. But file rectification as early as possible because demand to pay tax will come after 30 days of the intimation.
