It return e-filed. hard copy not yet sent- want to submit revised return

yes. you can file a revised return without sending the original ITRV to CPC.  The revised return will however, be considered as belated return only.

iF THE ORIGINAL RETURN IS FILED BEFORE THE DUE DATE then only you can revise the original return. Irrespective of whether iti is validated/verified or  not.  otherwise everybody will do that  and there will be no meaning to  due date. 

Original return is filed before due date but NO hard copy was submitted. So it seems I can submit a revised return now giving reference of the original return right ?

yes.  you can do it.

Dear Rawat,

This factually incorrect.  Irrespective of whether your earlier return has been processed or not/ whether CPC has received ITRV or not, your revised return will be processed.

I would glad if you could share any legal provision to back up your opinion.  I have attached a factual position in one of the case handled by myself in support of my opinion. As you will see in the attached file, for AY 2014-15, the original return was just uploaded and after that return was revised in a different form and was duly processed.

Thanks for all your replies..

So it means I can submit a revised return even though hard copy of the earlier uploaded return (which was uploaded within due date) is not submitted.

A follow up question is there a time frame to submit this revised return ? 120 days has already passed post upload of the earlier return.

You can revise the return before the end of assesment year or  ur ITR is processed. 

Since 120 days period is over - the revised return will be treated as belated return and you have to file u/s 139(4) only.

Since original return will be treated as null and void.  

Within 120 days you could have uploaded  revised return and sent ITR-V of both to CPC.

Thanks for your prompt response.

Appreciated
