This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

A chartered accountant is facing an error message when filing a defect rectified return under Section 139(9) for a client who incorrectly filed ITR 1 instead of ITR 4. The error message, typically associated with updated returns (ITR-U), is appearing during the 139(9) filing process, causing confusion as it relates to sections not applicable to defect rectified returns. Despite checks with the income tax department and software providers, the issue persists, with the department acknowledging the problem and promising a fix.

16 January 2023 Winman is my Income Tax Software. I raised the problem of defect rectified return to them also. the latest reply from them is :
For Defective return u/s 139(9) Part B-ATI is not applicable. Still, error is shown mentioning mismatch in values of Part B-ATI. The error appears while uploading the JSON file generated using Dept. utility also.
As per the communication with e-filing Helpdesk, this issue is already noted and will soon be resolved by them.
