This discussion explores the possibility of rectifying an Income Tax Return (ITR) filed incorrectly under the salary head (ITR 1) when it should have been business income under Section 44AD (ITR 4). The user wishes to change the income head while keeping the total income the same for Assessment Year 2021-22. While Section 154 rectification is suggested as a possibility, filing an Updated Return under Section 139(8) is also recommended as a potentially better alternative.

A person who wrongly filed his itr under salary head (ITR 1) in place of Business income u/s 44AD (ITR 4). He shows total income of Rs 415000 under salary. Now I want to file rectification u/s 154 by replacing his income from salary to business income putting the total income same. Weather rectification u/s 154 is possible in above case?
