Time limit

A person who has received notice under section 139(9) about the defective return can rectify the return within a period of 15 days from the date of such intimation of defective return u/s 139(9). He may also rectify the defect within such extended period which the Assessing Officer may allow on receiving an application.

If the defect is not rectified within the allowed period, the return shall be treated as an invalid return and the assessee shall be treated as if he has not filed a return and be subjected to penalty or interest.

The Assessing Officer may condone the delay and treat the return as a valid return if the defect is rectified before the assessment is completed.
