In your case, since the originally filed return has been marked defective by the Income Tax Department (under section 139(9)), the return is considered invalid until the defect is rectified.
What to do now?
You need to file a revised return to correct the defect and submit it within the time allowed in the notice.
The revised return is not an original return because you already filed the original return (even if defective).
When filing, select the option “Revised Return” and mention the Acknowledgment Number of the defective original return.
Ensure all corrections/changes are properly made as per the defect notice.
Important:
Filing a fresh “original return” is not allowed once a defective return is filed. You must treat your corrected submission as a revised return.
