I have a client whose CA filed his return back in FY 2021-22, when he sold a residential property. He was supposed to construct another house with the sale proceeds and therefore he invested the same amount in the Capital Gains Savings Scheme of a Public sector Bank. Therefore, the Exemption should have been claimed under section 54. But his CA filed the exemption under Section 54EC, which is, I believe, is completely irrelevant as the he did not invest in NHAI Bonds or such other Bonds as specified under Section 54EC. I am trying to file an ITR-U to rectify the error but I can't as it shows an error that 'Tax payment cannot be Zero'. What can I do save this person from getting under scrutiny?

I tried adding the income to the Other income, it still generates the same error that 'you are expected to have net payable amount more than zero to make tax payable u/140B". though, my new tax liability stands at around 3k. please help, as it is not generating Json.
