27 May 2017 I had filed my ITR 4S for AY 2016-17 showing income from legal profession Rs. 4,22,400/- (Out of total turn over of Rs. 7,68,000/-). Now I have received a notice u/s 139(9) stating the ITR as defective and instructed me to file revised return. What should I do now ? I did not undeestand.

27 May 2017 You have to see the reason for defective return mentioned in the notice, it may be due to the fact that in ITR 4S you may have indicated legal profession but might not have filled balance sheet and p&L portion completely which is required to be filled since in case of legal profession it is required to maintain books of account.
