I received defect notice 139(9) post submission of my ITR -1 with old regime.
The notice says it mis-matched the income from my 26AS , However I included all income mentioned in 26AS in ITR-1 . but the defect is came as under 26AS along with my salary income there is one business income (section 194c) present which I consider as other source of income while filing the ITR-1.
Now, I realize I have to file ITR-4 for AY-2024 - 2025.
issues :
To response the defect notice with failing the ITR-4 it not allowing me to file it under old tax regime I have filed Form 10-IEA (filled on 4th Aug 2024) Although it not allowing me to opt for old regime
Please help me here with you kind guidance.
As well as please let me know , if in case I did not response to the defect notice within allowable timeline what can happened ? (as I have mentioned all the income in ITR-1 as per 26AS just the business income mentioned as other source of income.

you wont be able to choose old regime. the only option for you can be filing with audit. thereby shifting due date to 30 September 2024. that will allow you to choose old scheme..but the cost of audit will have to be considered.
