Hello Neeraj
Rectification of return is specified in section 154 of the Income Tax Act 1961. As per section 154 rectification is used to rectify the mistakes apparent in the records of the department of income tax.It is not used to rectify the mistakes or omissions made by the assessee in his return.
So you cant file a rectified return unless you received an intimation under section 143(1) or any order or intimation under section 200A(1).I think you didnt received any intimation or order from the dept. yet. If so you cant rectify your mistake.
According to section 139(5) of the Income tax Act the assessee can file a revised return to correct the mistakes and omissions he maid when filing his return. So you can invoke section 139(5). But it has time limit. An assessee can rectify his mistakes upto one year from the end of the assessment year or before completion of the assessment which ever is earlier.
In this case your A.Y is 2013-14 so your time limit to file a revised return is March 2015.So you cant file a revised return.
Inshort you cant do anything now to get back the refund if any.
