139(9) Rectify the ITR

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

A user filed an ITR-4 for AY2020-21 under section 139(8A) and mistakenly entered the late filing fee as self-assessment tax. They've now received a 139(9) notice requesting rectification under section 140B. However, the relevant sections for tax details are hidden when attempting to rectify. The advice given is that an updated return under 139(8A) can only be filed for taxable income with higher tax payments, not just a late fee. Therefore, the return is considered defective and cannot be rectified, suggesting it should be left as is.
