Wrong ITR filed for wrong assesment year

Quick Summary

An individual mistakenly filed their Income Tax Return (ITR) for the incorrect financial year, filing for FY 2014-15 instead of FY 2015-16, which included salary income. Despite attempts to rectify the error through hard copy submissions to the AO and a Section 154 application, both were rejected. The tax department considers it the filer's mistake and has adjusted a refund against the incorrect demand, leaving the individual seeking guidance on further steps, including potentially filing an RTI.

15 October 2023 ITR was wrongly filed by me for financial year 2014-15, as I was a student getting stipend in that year and that was below taxable limit in that financial year.

By mistake the ITR for FY 2015-16 was made in FY 2014-15. There was salary income for F.Y 2015-16 for which I had mistakenly filed the income tax return for F.Y 2014-15.

Also i had sent a hard copy of files/documents for rectification to the AO in Income tax office in year 2017, but no results.

Also I had filed for rectification application under section-154 but it got rejected. I sincerely request to you to please look into the matter and guide me on the same.

21 October 2023 For the last financial year I had a refund from the ITR and it’s getting adjusted with that demand amount.

What steps should I take now to correct this ?
