How to Avoid INR 5000 Fee in ITR Rectification Request U/s 154 for Correction in Data


This query is : Resolved 

06 October 2023 A fee of INR 5000 is imposed under Section 234F in ITR 1 for using an offline Excel-based utility. I wish to submit a "rectification request" to claim tax credits for unclaimed challans.

The initial return was filed under Section 139(1), but upon attempting to change the section in the rectification request, an error was encountered stating that the original return's section cannot be altered.

I proceeded to upload the JSON file with the 5000 INR fees and submitted the rectification request.

I seek advice on how to avoid incurring these charges.?

I had filed a rectification under Section 154, but the offline utility tools are not designed to prepare rectified returns. The return was corrected using the utility tools, and the amended version was uploaded as a JSON file in the rectification request.

21 January 2024 I think a late fee is unavoidable here. Please let me know if you got rid of the same
