Mistake in ITR-V generated for AY 2011-12

Hi All,

 

I decided to file my income tax return for AY 2011-12 today. While I am not required to do so as my taxable income for that AY was below the statutory minimum, I wanted to file it to claim refund of tax that was deducted by my employer. I filed the return online and the ITR-V was generated.

 

On the top of the form, the assessment year was correctly mentioned as AY 2011-12.

 

However, at the bottom of the page, in the acknowledgement / signature section, the AY was wrongly mentioned as AY 2012-13!

 

That was very surprising - I even checked the XML sheet downloaded from the e-filing website, but the AY in that file was clearly mentioned as 2011-12. This looks like a software error to me.

 

Anybody has had similar experiences? I am planning to send it to CPC Bangalore after manually correcting the AY and signing it off - that appears to be the only logical step :).

 

Looking forward to your replies.

 

Warm Regards,

Vivek.
