My friend filed online ITR of AY 2009-10. But by mistake he mentioned wrong TAN of deductor in colum of TDS details. He filed the belated return u/s 139(4). So, revision of return is not possible. He also received email from IT departnent mentioning this mistake. Is there any solution of this problem so that refund can be generated?

Hi,

In such a case you can file an application u/s-154 of the Income tax act along with a copy of the TDS certificate and producing the same in original (for verification purpose only) to the AO.

And the officer shall rectify such mistake in the return and process the return accordingly.

Prayer for Rectification U/s 154 can be made for any order / intimation made by the department.

No Notice can be rectified U/s 154.

In your case to me it seems that the Department had send a notice pointing the mistake (correct Me if I m wrong) as because the department always send a notice whenever it finds any mistake to give the assessee a fair trial before passing any order.

So according to me your friend should simply send in the reply to the notice without any prayer u/s 154 stating all the facts.... The AO will definitely consider it....

Also wait for the views of other learned members.

From the assessment year 2009-10, IT return will process from Bengaluru and refund will also issued from Bengaluru.

In your case write a repply letter to your assessing officer and CC to Bengaluru also mentioning that you have inadvertly mentioned wrong TAN of the deductor. Also enclosed copy of TDS certificate along with letter.
