Should I revise return or rectify it

254 views 13 replies

In my IT return, I entered my total salary in one box instead of providing break up for basic salary, HRA and so on. As a result the CPC sent me a notification disallowing my HRA exemption. I provided explanation online of how I receive HRA but did not provide break up in my return. However, they did not accept and sent intimation u/s 143(1) along with a demand notice. Now, should I file for rectification u/s 154 online and select data correction option? Or should I file revised return and them ask for rectification and select reprocess the return option?

Also, if I'm doing any of the above, meanwhile do I have to pay the tax?

You can follow these following steps for revision

On Income Tax Return Page:

  • PAN will be auto-populated
  • Select 'Assessment Year'
  • Select 'ITR form Number'
  • Select 'Filing Type' as 'Original/Revised Return'
  • Select 'Submission Mode' as 'Upload XML
Agreed

Thank you Ramaji, but my query is should I revise my return u/s 139(5) or should I file for rectification u/s 154? Which approach should I follow for my case?

You just have to revise your return and it is not required to pay the tax.
Do like my reply to motivate me for solving more queries

Thank you Aakarsh, but the intimation u/s 143(1) mentioned to file rectification instead. So should I not file rectification and instead revise my return? I'm not sure I can revise the return given it for AY20-21

See you haven't cleared earlier that you are asking for A.Y. 2020-21. Last extended date for filing revise return for AY. 20-21 is 31/05/21. so now you can only file rectification.
In my opinion rectify the return with data correction option and try not to modify your Total Income, others it will not accept the data

Thanks Vishal it was helpful. Just one more query, while preparing return for rectification, should I maintain filed u/s 139(1) in the ITR? because then tax calculation shows fees for late filing even though it is just rectification

Yes, go with 139(1)

But when I select 139(1), when I use the calculate tax button it shows be 10000 late filing fees, even though it is just data correction.

Can you plz send screenshot on WhatsApp/Telegram on 758888 six four two three

Sure, screenshot won't be helpful. It will just show 10,000 under late filing fee which is auto calculated if I choose 139(1)
