Hi,

Last month when I filled income tax return, in the "total tax paid amount" section insteaad of X amount by mistake i filled 2X and submitted form to Income Tax dept. When I got acknowledment, I realised I have filled wrong numbers. When I login to efile website with my login credentials I see there amount has been corrected. I have not received my refund amount yet (I still have refund, after filling X amount also). What should i do now? Do I have file refictification? I tried doing that, I do not see any such option in my account. Also when I tried to submit correct version of filing it says you cannot re-submit. I am confused what to do? Should I wait till next communication of IT? Please help.

See your bank acc - whether refund has been credited.

See your email ID - Whether you got intimation u/s 143(1)

Tax credit will be taken upto whatever is there in 26AS. So Taxman will take X only.

as regards refund you have to wait for while untill you get intimation.

I hope the IFSC code and Bank account no is correct.

You dont have to do anything. Its already corrected by them in notification 143(1). They write in this letter if you have issues then only you have to take action.

You can file revise return by filing the details of the relevant Itr form that you filled in previously, in that form, there is an option - original, revised, defective etc etc. Select revised option and fill the acknowledgement details of the original form. Fill the form with the corrected details of your incomes in the same manner as you filed in your original return (presuming other details were correct). Correct the details in your revised return which were filled incorrectly in the original return. Then upload the return in same manner as you did it for original return and everify the same.

The procedure is then completed.

Hope this information proves useful to you.

Going through your query , I feel that there must have been substantial refund. Refer to intimation u/s 143(1) and check what refund amount is being Shown out there ?

Mr Ranjit please clarify the following

1] You filed ITR (which number) with 2X as Refund - Self assesment or ad tax

2) When you got ack ITR-V - you reliased that you had filled it by mistake.

3) Once again log in - where did u find X as corrected. Is it 26AS ?? most probably yes. It was always X. b4.

4) Unless and until you get intimation 143(1) - How will you know they [IT dept] have corrected the tax credit.

5) In the opening screen - does it say return processed or only successfully e-verified.

6) If return is processed you can ask for intimation .u/s 143/154. Refund will be credited in bank acc.

7) If the return is not processed - they will automatically process and give the refund.

Please clarify correct details.

Thanks for your detailed questions Kiran. I appreciate your effort.

Here are my answers for each questions:

1. I filled ITR-1 by myself. Uding my login credentials at incometaxefiling website. I filled 2X amount under "Total Income Tax Paid Amount" section insstead of X.

2. Yes.

3. No. I login back to incometaxefiling and select option like quick e file then choose form type, asssesmnet year and address option. There I see under tab "Tax Paid and Verification" "Total Tax Paid" amount has been corrected to X.

4. I ssaw under "Tax Paid and Verification" as explained above.

5. It does not say anything. But When I click e-verification it says there is nothing pending for e-verification.

6. Refund is not processed yet.

7. Just waiting for this to happen.

If the mistake is only for the " taxes paid" amount, the IT dept will credit to the actual amount standing to your credit in their data base. So need npt worry till the assessment is completed. Or else you have an option of filing a revised return or rectification for which you have to select the option of filing of return button in respone to notice or U/s139.... Check the menu in ITR e filing form. By clicking that option you can file a rectification of revision. But to file a revised return, there should be a minimum change of Rs10/- in the total income filed earlier.
