I want to clear my doubt as one of my client told me to File the return by putting wrong challan details as the return was received at last moment and tax was due in it, and we will deposit the tax on 1st Aug and on later date when we will receive the notice for defective return we will put the August challan entry and so our late fees will be avoided. Is this practice as per Sec 139 and can we avoid late fees by following this procedure. I refused to do it but today morning he told that he has filed his return with some other consultant on last date by following this procedure and nothing is wrong in it.

Its not at all fair practice, but you could have filed return without SAT payment. After payment of tax, the ITR might have been processed considering the challan.
