29 August 2022 If assessment is pending or completed then assessee is not eligible for filing updated return.

If assessee received intimation having some demand then can it be said assessment is pending or completed and assessee is not eligible for filing updated return?

If assessee file updated return and disclose some additional income which are eligible for deduction under chapter VI A, can assessee claim it by disclosing additional income in updated return?
