02 May 2025 Dear Sir/Madam,

Please guide how to file Revision under Section 264 in The Income Tax Act, 1961. As I'm not able to find any direct or indirect facility in the income tax, e-filing portal. Although few experts, on this platform are guiding to file Rectification (u/s 264), but in my perspective this a wrong practice.

As Revision and Rectification under the Income Tax Act, 1961 are two distinct mechanisms.
Kindly advise the correct procedure for filing a revision under Section 264.

Yes.. Revision and Rectification are two distinct remedies.
As of now, the Income Tax e filing portal does not support online filing of revision application. So it must be submitted physically to the PCIT/ CIT.
Prepare a draft application/ Letter to Jurisdictional PCIT/ CIT briefly explaining the facts and grounds of revision enclosing such order for which revision is being sought, ITR and all relevant information and submit the same. And there is no particular format of this application and no fees required for filing this application. This application is to be made with in 1 year from the date on which such order was communicated.
After filing the same, the assessee will be communicated requiring any additional information if any, after scrutiny of all the gathered information, final orders will be passed and this entire process needs to be completed with in 1 year from the end of the financial year in which application is made.
