Hello, If the client fails to file form 67 before filling the ORG ITR and now dept is rejecting the revised ITR/Form 67 also as a form was not filed before the original return. Is there is a way that h can claim the relief? In revised or rectification return?

Here’s a clear explanation and suggestions for your queries on revising ITR for deduction amount and issues with Form 67 filing:
1. Revising ITR for Deduction (Section 80P) for FY 2018-19 Since the original ITR did not include the eligible deduction (e.g., under Section 80P) due to an error in the XML, the taxpayer can file a Revised Return under Section 139(5). The deadline for filing a revised return for FY 2018-19 is 30 June 2020 (as per your timeline), so the client must act quickly. Procedure to file a Revised Return: In the income tax e-filing portal, choose the option for “Revised Return.” Mention the Acknowledgment Number and Date of the Original Return. Ensure the corrected deduction claim (80P) is properly reflected in the XML and form. Submit the revised return before the deadline. If the rectification request was denied, it’s often because rectification under Section 154 is meant for errors apparent from record, not for changing claim of deduction missed initially. Revised return is the correct route. 2. Issue with Form 67 Filing and Revised Return Form 67 is mandatory to be filed before the due date of filing the original ITR when claiming relief under Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA). If the Form 67 was not filed before filing the original ITR, then the Department may reject the claim of relief in the revised return or in Form 67 itself. Possible remedies: There is no provision to file Form 67 after filing original return to claim DTAA relief for that year. The client can file a Rectification request (Section 154) or appeal to the Assessing Officer explaining the omission and requesting condonation. Alternatively, they may file a fresh return for the next assessment year correctly claiming the relief. Sometimes, the department may allow late filing on merits or via discretionary relief on genuine grounds, but this is not guaranteed.
