06 March 2017 In response to IT dept notice regarding non filing of ITR-1 for AY 15-16, I filed my return. Then after filing, I noticed some error and revised my return. Now my account on IT Dept e-filling website is showing 2 returns, one as original and another as revised. Both are pending for E-Verification. Which return should I verify and why ? Please help... Thanks is advance

22 July 2025 When you file a revised return, it supersedes the original return. So, you only need to verify the revised return to complete the process.

Here’s why:

The revised return contains the corrected information.
Once the revised return is verified, the original return is treated as invalid.
Verifying the original return after filing a revised one may cause confusion or processing delays.
Summary:
✔️ Verify the revised return only.
❌ No need to verify the original return once a revised return is filed.

If both returns show the same refund amount and only minor figures differ, verifying the revised return ensures the corrected return is processed by the IT department.
