An individual filed their ITR1 for FY 2023-24 but received a defect notice because their 26AS statement showed a deduction under section 94C, which was later changed to 94J by the deductor. The response deadline has passed. Although the taxpayer's income is below £4 lakhs and there's no tax liability, they are unsure how to proceed. The advice given is to file a revised return, but if there's no tax payable, it might not be possible now, and they should await any query from the Income Tax Department.
