A taxpayer's HRA deduction claim has been flagged for adjustment under Section 143(1)(a) of the Income Tax Act because the salary breakdown wasn't provided in the ITR. The taxpayer is unable to revise the return via the new ITD portal and is seeking guidance on how to proceed with the revision and respond to the tax department's proposal. Advice suggests disagreeing with the proposal and reporting the issue to the helpline for a potential link to upload a revised return.
I had filed an ITR of my Client with claiming HRA deduction from Salary. Now my client have received a communication u/s 143(1)(a) regarding adjustment of HRA claimed. Deptt not giving credit of HRA because of Salary breakup not given in ITR. Now, I trying to revise the ITR but option is not available on new ITD portal. It has only the option that whether the Assessee is agreed for adjustment or not.
Pls suggest how to revise the ITR for AY 2020-21 and what to do with this proposal.
While submission of the reply on the new ITD Portal, option of uploading revised return is not available. Option of uploading Revised Return will be available after submission of the reply?

Report it to helpline, under grievances. Usually the link is activated after few days of issue of the defective notice. Also ask for extension of time period to reply.
