ITR Common Filing Utility Error: Please enter Residential/Office Phone Number.

Quick Summary
Users are encountering an error in the ITR Common Filing Utility where the system prompts for a Residential/Office Phone Number, even though it's not a mandatory field. Several workarounds have been suggested, including entering '00000000' or using the first two digits of your mobile number in the STD code field followed by the remaining digits in the phone number field. This method has proven effective for many users, resolving a bug that prevents proceeding to validation.

For those who are reading this and wondering what these idiots are talking about, here are the detailed steps:

1. You can edit the STD code field. So where you see your STD code like 40, 80, 22 etc, place your cursor there, select both numbers and type the first two numbers of your Mobile number. Ex: if your mobile number is 98XXXXXXXX, you must type 98 in the std code field 

2. In the empty box next to the box where you entered 98 (as per above example), enter the remaining 8 digits of your mobile number. In the above example instead of XXXXXXXX, if you assume the remaining 8 digits to be 76543210, it will look like:

box1   box2

98     76543210
