This discussion addresses an individual's query about filing their Income Tax Return (ITR-1) when their employer incorrectly calculated taxable income by not including gratuity. Despite the employer not issuing a revised Form 16, the individual has already paid tax based on their actual salary. The advice provided confirms that the ITR-1 can be filed with the current information, and the schedule for 10E deduction can be removed if it auto-populates incorrectly. The user successfully filed their return and received a refund, confirming the approach was correct.

SIR , I could not remove the 10E deduction in ITR-1 Form which gets auto fill from 16 submitted by employer . Can i remove the schedule because it is not taking the nil value for 10E.
