Mis-filed itr

02 April 2015

Hi, I just checked that I filed ITR for AY 2014-2015 and declared Gross Income around INR 5500 while it should have been around INR 55000.... I realized that I entered details of TDS refund into Gross Income... Is there need to file revised ITR just to correct this mistake? I was not required to file ITR but still filed the ITR to get TDS refund and applying to Credit Card or Loan in future and thinks that I need previous ITR this year to apply for a Credit Card...
Also when the dates will open to file ITR for the FY 2014-2015 on ITR website? And what form do I need to fill as my Income is from FD Interest, payment by overseas clients and companies in USD which gets converted to INR when it arrives in my Bank Account? I have no fixed Salary....

Yes u can file revised return. I dont think u will get any scrutiny call for such a low income shown but for your personal reasons u can file revised return to correct your error. I am not aware about when it will open. If you are running a consultancy u can fill ITR 4. Or else just itr 2 will suffice and u can put that income in other sources along with your bank fd. Cheers

Same itr form as before but u/s 139(5). U have time uptil 31st march 2016 to do the same but better do it at the earliest. Just take your previous return working file. Amend the mistake pass it through the system and upload it under the above said section.

I think this is applicaple to only revised ITR i.e. to correct previous ITR? and the last date to file fresh ITR for FY 2014-2015 is July-31st-2015 ?

Yes mr wae. U have to file revised itr. As u have already filed itr showing wrong income. Correcting your mistake regarding previous itr by filing a fresh itr is called as revised filing of return us 139 (5). Dont worry so much. And do thank me once your work is done. Cheers

First of all I would advice you to file a revised return as early as possible. Kindly note that this is Income Tax Return and something which is to be taken lightly. Every word there has a significance. Also this is to inform you that a return of Rs 55000 will not solve any loan purpose. Even a credit card won't be issued against such income . You may be able to File your returns for the Fy 2014-15 by the Mid Month of May 2015 as the forms for FY 2014-15 shall be available by such date. And Finally the last date for Filing of Return in your case shall be 31 July 2015.

Have you filed a belated return? Meaning...filing return after 31st July 2014? In that case you wont b able to revise your return. Else the solution provided by vivek is perfect for your F.Y 13-14 query. For 14-15, just wait till the utility comes.
