A user is asking if their senior citizen parents can claim missed deductions under Section 80TTA for previous tax years due to a lack of awareness. They believe rectification might not be an option and are hoping for future government services to address such genuine oversights.

My parents who are senior citizens have failed to avail the benefit under 80 TTA - this is because of lack of knowledge- Is there a way I can claim this now for the past years. I do not think rectification allows it.

Ok Sir.. thank you for your inputs. These are genuine misses and am surprised how IT cannot allow this. This year I saw they have introduced a service called challan correction. Hope they allow this atleast for 1 previous or 2 past years.
