This pertains to my IT return for AY 21-22. I had filed the ITR return within due date (i.e. before 31st Dec 2021). The Due Tax payment (self-assessment Tax) of about INR 2 Lacs was paid within 4 days of the filing of Tax. I also paid interest of around 7000/-, as was showing in the Income Tax system, though no interest should have been applicable
Please let know whether I can file:
1) Rectification to update my challan for payment of INR 2 Lacs: - I was told that last date of filing rectification was 31st Dec 2023, for AY21-22. Can you please confirm whether I can file rectification. In this case I am getting Tax due of around 35,000/-, as system is not capturing date of my challan payment of INR 2 Lacs and calculating interest for delay. Actually, no interest should be applicable.
2) Updated return under 139 (8A):-
In this case, I am getting marginal refund of around 6500/- (nearly same as the interest amount I had paid), but since refund is not allowed under 139 (8A), I have to manually make it zero, before system allows the filing.
Please confirm whether 1) or 2) is the right way to proceed.
