Quick Summary

If you've received a notice stating your ITR-1 return is defective under Section 139(9), it's likely due to TDS deductions under specific sections like 194IA, 194IC, or 194S. These sections imply income types for which ITR-1 is not the correct form, as it lacks the necessary schedules. You may need to file a different ITR form, such as ITR-2, especially if you've declared virtual digital asset transactions.
