If you've accidentally declared a higher income than you earned on your tax return and received a demand notice, you might be wondering about rectification. While direct rectification to reduce income is often stated as not possible, there are potential avenues to correct clerical errors. This discussion explores what can be done when the system prevents straightforward income reduction through the standard rectification process.

I filed a return with an higher income than I accrued and the same return was processed and have received a demand notice u/s 143. Now can I rectify the return to the originally earned income ( confirmed in form 26as).
If rectifying should I rectify it while submitting the json file or submit the old details and then rectify it later ?
