Can a revised return be filed after getting a notice of defective return u/s 139(9)? ITR4 for a/y 2012-13 is termed as defective. The rectification of ITR is not being found possible under excel utility as it was correctly filled up. Can I now file Revised ITR 2 in response to the Notice, instead of rectifying defects pointed out, as otherwise ITR 4 filed earlier will be considered void after 15 days? I may lose benefit of set off of business loss, but it is a small amount and good amount of refund is due, which is otherwise held up. Kindly advise.
