25 January 2024 1. WHETHER UPDATED RETURN FILED U/S 139(8A) BECAME DEFECTIVE U/S 139(9) THEN SUCH RETURN CAN BE RECTIFIED OR CAN BE FILED U/S 139(8A) AGAIN?

2. While filing updated return, the payment of tax u/s 140B was wrongly shown under self assessment tax paid. Defective notice u/s 139(9) has issued asking valid proof of payment of tax as required u/s 140B. Can we use the same challan and file defective notice.

26 January 2024 Penalty payment of 1000 not accepted for updated return. It's not a valid return.
Updated return can be filed only in case of tax payable with 25% extra tax payment.
