29 August 2013 Then there is no alternative available to you.

In any case it will not make any difference since the slab rate is same for men & women.

03 August 2025 Yes, that's correct.
Since the only mistake in your belated ITR (filed after the due date) is related to "Sex" (gender) — and there is no difference in income tax slab rates between male and female for A.Y. 2013–14 — this error will not impact your return processing or refund.

Here’s what you should know:

✅ Key Points:
Gender error is a minor mistake for A.Y. 2013–14 because both men and women had the same basic exemption limit.
Since the return is belated, you cannot file a revised return under section 139(5).
Send the original ITR-V to CPC, Bangalore within 120 days of filing.
The refund will still be processed normally unless there is any other mismatch or error in income or tax credits.
❓ Will you get a notice?
Highly unlikely.
CPC generally does not raise a query for gender mismatch unless it leads to a computational error — which it doesn’t here.
You’ll likely get the intimation under section 143(1) and refund (if eligible) without any issue.
📝 Final Advice:
Just proceed by sending your ITR-V to CPC. No need to worry or take further action unless CPC specifically contacts you — which is very rare in such cases.
