30 January 2014 Dear Sir,

One of my friend was regularly filing returns with an ITP. Due to some clashes he has approached one CA for filing returns, Keeping this in his mind, that ITP has filed my friends IT return online with some ficticious Income and with a tax aliability of Rs.50000/- by mentioning some dummy Chalan no with the wrong intention that my friend should receive Demand notice from the department. When we have verified in Income tax web site, the status is coming as ITR V Received.

What is the remedy or cource of action he can take to make the filed IT return as invalid.

01 August 2024 If your friend suspects that their Income Tax Return (ITR) has been filed incorrectly or fraudulently by an Income Tax Practitioner (ITP) with fictitious details, there are several steps that can be taken to address the issue:

### **1. File a Revised Return:**
- **Action:** Your friend can file a revised return using the correct details and accurate information. The revised return can be filed before the due date for filing returns for the relevant assessment year.
- **Process:** To file a revised return, your friend needs to:
- Access the Income Tax e-Filing portal.
- Select the option to file a revised return.
- Enter the acknowledgment number of the original return and correct the details in the revised return.
- Submit the revised return electronically and generate a new ITR-V (Acknowledgment).

### **2. Contact the Income Tax Department:**
- **Action:** If the ITR is already filed with incorrect information, your friend should reach out to the Income Tax Department for guidance.
- **Process:** Your friend can:
- Write a formal letter or email to the jurisdictional Income Tax Officer explaining the situation.
- Request that the incorrect return be invalidated or disregarded.

### **3. File a Complaint Against the ITP:**
- **Action:** Since the ITP has acted fraudulently, your friend should file a complaint against the ITP.
- **Process:** Your friend can:
- File a complaint with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) or the relevant professional body if the ITP is a CA.
- Report the matter to the Income Tax Department's grievance redressal mechanism.

### **4. Verify Acknowledgment Status:**
- **Action:** Verify the status of the original ITR and revised return on the Income Tax e-Filing portal.
- **Process:** Ensure that the revised return is successfully processed and that the status of the original return is updated appropriately.

### **5. Keep Evidence:**
- **Action:** Maintain all relevant documents and communication.
- **Process:** Keep records of all correspondence, return acknowledgments, and any formal complaints filed.

### **Steps to Take:**

1. **Filing Revised Return:**
- Log in to the [Income Tax e-Filing portal](https://www.incometax.gov.in/).
- Go to the "e-File" menu and select "Revised Return."
- Enter the original ITR acknowledgment number and details.
