Error while e-filling

Hi while e-filling for the year 07-08, I had by mistake put the year as 06-07, though i didnot submit the acknowledge for this and submitted the correct acknowledge for 07-08. Now I have recieved a letter saying my  case has been selected for scrutiny under CASS for the e-filling I did for 06-07. The returns for this year were manually filed by me and even the returns for the same have been received.

I have even submitted the apology letter explaing the same. still they are asking all the support documents for that year,  The only exemption I took that year was a ELSS of Rs40,000 and HRA exemption of Rs 15000.

I have the receipt of the ELSS, but I have lost the Rent agreement. (Total rent given for that year was 52000 which is much more than what i have claimed)

1. How do I go about defending myself.

2.Should I take help of the CA to defend my case

Kindly guide me through this...
