Revised Return can be filed even after intimation u/s 143(1) is issued since the same is not considered as an assessment order in the court law though referred to as summary assessment. Since even after the issuance of intimation u/s 143(1), regular/scrutiny assessment can be done without any restriction.
There is a case law of Gujarat High court in which the court held that the assessee can file revised return even after intimation is served . S. R. Koshti v. Commissioner of Income-tax [2005] 276 ITR 165 (Guj).
The issue is settled to rest by the decision of Supreme Court in the case of ACIT vs Rajesh Javeri Stock Brokers (P) Ltd. 291 ITR 500 in which it was held that intimation although deem to the notice of demand U/s. 156 can not taken as assessment order.

What you had said that you cannot file revise return. I said that can be done that is it. You could go for rectification also. That option is always open but if there is a mistake from assessees side in filing return then he has to file revise return to correct it and cannot go for rectification u/s 154.

But, we cannot reduce income under rectification u/s 154. So, if there is some error in computation of income, the only option is to revise the return. However, in many cases, revised return is not processed by the department.. Views solicited..
