How to make rectification xml file

06 November 2019

I received intimation under 143(1) in response to ITR 2 for AY2019-20. i noticed there was error in TAN of TDS made in my ITR which is resulting in not getting credit for TDS.

Now I went to site to file rectification and selected option of Return Data Correction (XML). Next it asks to upload rectification XML file. My query is how to prepare this rectification XML. I need to change just TAN of TDS nothing else.

If I select my original ITR2 utility and correct this, before generating ITR, it asks to calculate IT, which now shows penalty of Rs.5000 because date has changed. There is a Note which says download latest utility and generate Filing type as Rectification. But I do not find any such option in utility. Please advise how do I generate X M L for rectification

I think you eRespond to this mis-match notice by
.... disagree..... and give reason of TAN error.

This will help in resolving this issue.

Don't file rectification X M L
Revised return you can file upto 31-3-2020

@ indra
you can download the itr 2.
while selecting from the drop down menu
select notice under section 143(1).
revised return.
validate all sheets .
correct the tan number for which there is tax credit mismatch.
file revised XML file.
after logging into e filing option.
there are certain menu through which you can file the same.

Thanks I tried this but when XML was uploaded, got error that it should be under same section in which notice is received. Demand in this case received under 143(2) ?And there is no such option in drop down.

Finally I could not figure out any way and filed revised return and responded to demand by disagreeing and choosing option revised return filed.

Hope it works.

I too have faced exactly the same issue and am searching for a satisfactory answer. It is so strange that this is such commonly encountered issue but I hardly find any solution to this issue. The problem is

1. There is no option to rectify only tds entries directly in itr2, itr3 like in case of itr1.

2. It asks to upload X M L file but what is to be filled in "filing status" is not clear. If we give original return u/s 139(1), it automatically calculates a penalty of Rs 5000. Other options are not valid.

Please give some solution apart from raising grievance under e-nivaran.

I talked with income tax helpline 1800-103-0025. This is how you should generate XML file for rectification.

1. Use the XML file used for filing original return itr2. If you don't have it, download from income tax efiling website after logging in your account.

2. Use the latest schema for itr2 (or what ever you had used earlier). This is very important as will become clear in para no 4.

3. Fill this latest itr2 utility by using old XML. Make all the necessary changes which you wish to make. Check if information about all your banks are populated. If not, add the missing information.

4. The filing status must not be changed. If your original return was filed under 139(1) i.e. on or before due date, it should stay the same even if this rectification is being filed after due date. This will result in a penalty of Rs 5000 if rectification is being filed after August 31, 2019. Manually edit it and make it zero. This is important and this manual editing was not possible in earlier version of schema but is available in latest schema.

5. Save this XML file and use it for uploading the XML file.

6. Go to e-file, select rectification & rest is easy to follow as per instruction which follow.

I hope this clarifies.

That seems to be solution. I have already filed revised return and disagreed to demand giving revised return reference.

Thanks

I ALSO TRIED BUT IT IS SHOWING INTEREST AND PENALTY, BUT IF YOUR LAST FILLING IS ALREADY REVISED IT WILL NOT CALCULATE INTEREST AND PENALTY, MORE THIS IS OFFLINE Return Data Correction,

YOU HAVE TO SUBMIT UNDER THE SAME SECTION IN THE LAST ITR SUBMITTED AS PER 143 1

WHAT I FEEL THEY WILL JUST CORRECT DATA CHANGE REASON YOU WRITTEN IN COMMENTS,

MORE THIS CORRECTION IS UNDER 154 YOU WILL SEE ON TOP WHEN CHOOSE YEAR AND SUBMIT, NATURALLY THEY WILL ISSUE NEW ORDER WHICH WILL BE BASED ON OLD ORDER.

IF THEY ADJUSTED ANY REFUNDS YOU CAN ADD IN PAGE IT OF RETURN, CHECK YOUR 26AS SECTION C Details of Tax Paid (other than TDS or TCS)

Selection of appropriate reasons while submission of rectification request is mandatory for the correct processing of the request by the Department. Please re-enter all the entries in the schedules. All the corrected entries as well as the remaining entries mentioned in the ITR filed earlier are to be entered. Make the necessary corrections in the data. While doing corrections, make sure not to declare any new source of Income or declare additional deductions.
