09 January 2023 Dear Experts,

We have received a notice due to clerical error - In 3CD we have mentioned the GST late fee and interest payment disallowance under clause Expenditure by way of penalty or fine for violation of any law, but in ITR we disallowed it under 40 section.

So now we received a notice saying that there is an inconsistency in expenditure shown in 3cd and ITR, saying we have amount entered in Expenditure by way of penalty or fine for violation of any law but it is not disallowed in ITR.

What should be better to do now? Can we just give a response that its clerical mistake
