Quick Summary

If you've filed your Income Tax return and discovered an incorrect deductor's TAN, you can still correct it even if the revised return deadline has passed. The Income Tax Department allows for corrections through a Rectification Request under Section 154. This process can be initiated online via the e-filing portal. You'll need to select the appropriate rectification type, such as data correction, and submit the request to resolve the issue and potentially clear any raised demand.

30 December 2025 Filed my IT return for AY2024-25 within due date. Now it is found that the TAN of the deductor is wrong. Is it possible to change the TAN of the deductor now. Since the time for revised return is over. Demand is raised by the department. If the TAN is correct there will be NO DEMAND.

30 December 2025 Yes, it is possible to correct the deductor's TAN even after the deadline for a revised return has passed. Since the department has already raised a demand, you can use the Rectification Request service under Section 154 of the Income Tax Act to resolve this.

30 December 2025 You can file a rectification request online through the Income Tax Department’s e-filing portal. Log in, go to Services → Rectification → New Request, select the relevant assessment year, choose the type of rectification (e.g., reprocess return, data correction, tax credit mismatch), and submit the request.

31 December 2025 I downloaded the latest ITR XML/JSON file from the rectification menu. But I cannot import it into Latest Utility. So I normally logged into the offline utility. Now Which section should I select? Filed u/s or File in response to notice u/s? Should I have to pay the late fee? Thanks in Advance

31 December 2025 It shows only 4 sections u/s139(9), u/s142(1), u/s148, u/s153C. I am not sure which section to select.

31 December 2025 Check if it accepts u/s. 139(9), or else just file rectification request to rectify the mistake in old TAN no. with new TAN no.
