At the same time, i found that new regime will be more benificial for me. Is it possible opt new regime in the revised return ?.. Pls provide the link of actual rule in IT act

No, once opted any regime, you cannot change regime in same year. Even if you file revised return in new regime, it will get processed under old regime only.

There is one option available, though not tried... 'Discard ITR' is a functionality enabled by the Income Tax Department wherein you can discard (delete) the filled-up ITR form and start the process again. Users can avail of this option only if the ITR status is 'Unverified'/ 'Pending for Verification'. There is no restriction on availing of this option multiple times. Precondition: 'ITR status' is 'Unverified'/'Pending for Verification', said the Income tax department on its website as of July 20, 2024. The discard ITR option helps taxpayers file their ITR afresh if the original ITR filing has not been verified. It enables individuals to junk the previously filed but unverified ITR and file a fresh ITR, instead of filing the revised ITR rectifying mistakes in the original ITR
