Hello All,

One of our clients wishes to file an updated return under Section 139(8A) to exclude political donations claimed in previous years.

Please guide us on how to file an updated return, as removing the political donation from the return didn’t reflect the correct tax liability.

For example, he received a refund of Rs. 75,000 for FY 2021-22, but after excluding the political donation, his tax liability is only Rs. 10,000, instead of needing to repay the earlier refunded amount.

Please guide, Thanks in advance.

Virag Shah.
