A user encountered an error during ITR 2 validation, specifically concerning the 'Nature of Exempt Allowances' even when the Salary Schedule wasn't selected. The solution involved adding '0' to the relevant field in the Salary Schedule, which resolved the validation issue. Subsequently, the Salary Schedule appeared, and to activate 80C and 80D deductions, the user needed to ensure they were filing under the old tax regime.

Sir, Whilst validating ITR 2 error appears and states.... "Please select an Nature of Exempt Allowances option from the drop down at B3. of Schedule Salary."
This is so even though Salary Schedule has not even been selected.

It is glitch in the software. Click on the error.... It will direct to the salary page & the column.... Add "0" as value, save the page... ... The ITR will get validated.

To activate these deductions you are supposed to file ITR under old regime. So go to General Schedule for selection of Old regime, if you wish to file under old regime.
