Response to notice 139(9) - documents required?

I had got a notice for defective return under section 139(9), after which, I filled an X M L and uploaded it in the "efile in response to notice u/s 139(9)" part of the income tax website. I got the success message, and this all I did about a month back. Now I got a message from CPC that I still need to send documents. Could anyone help me out on what documents I need to send?

I had only uploaded the X M L, and nothing else. In my returns, I can see the ITR for the revised return. Please let me know what I should do next.

 

Thanks a lot in advance.

Have you checked the notice properly, it must mention what docs ais required, also for which Ay is it? 

Dear Kishuk,

 

Please ignore the sms received as you uploaded the X M L.

This is only for making confuse.

Read the notice properly it will clearly state of what is required by the dept.

Thank you all for the reply!
