AY 23-24 - Original return has more HRA - trying to submit updated return getting error

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

An individual filed their AY23-24 tax return with an incorrect higher HRA claim, receiving a refund. They now face an error ('Caught error description as null') when trying to submit an updated return with the correct HRA value. They've paid the difference and interest but are unable to input the previous refund in the desktop utility, hindering the correction process. They also received an HRA proof request with an expired response timeline.

06 March 2024 I've filed my original return for AY23-24 in the month of July.. have filed larger HRA value by error and got a refund. Now i'm trying to submit an updated return with correcting the HRA value to right value. I'm getting an error while trying to upload the JSON "Caught error description as null". I'm trying to use the desktop utility but i couldn't input the refund that i got during the original filing in Part B ATI. I'm hoping to fix the errors from the previous filing and submit the updated returns asap. I paid the difference amount along with interest already.. but i couldn't add the previous year refund and submit the form.

07 March 2024 You have claimed higher HRA so you don't have evidence, hence no use in seeking extension to the response.
