Accidentally filed itr without paying tax

22 March 2018

So I was filing ITR 1 today for AY 16-17 using Offline Utility tool and accidentally I submited ITR believing it will ask me for payment once I click submit.(Totally forgot that I have to pay etax first) and later I paid tax using epayment and I got my BSR Code generated.

Now the question is what should I do? Should I file a revise return or wait for notice to come and then In Submit Response file the response.I tried asking other people some are saying to wait for notice/intimation some are saying to revise return? I am confused :/

Kindly help me

you cannot file revise return for AY 16-17.just pay the taxes and file rectification under section 154.its more easy.

Rectification can be filed only after my return is made defective right?? I filed the return yesterday only?

rectification can be filled if there is any mistake apparent from record....since you have not mention the challan details it's just mistake apparent from record you need only details of challan to be mention.so you can file rectification

Filed ITR is invalid if such itr is not send to CPC or E-verfication. So you can fil revised return with original ITR ack, date of filed and Tax challan details.

JUST WAIT DO NOT SENT COPY TO CPC, FOR 2 MONTH . SO IT WILL BE IN INVALID RETURN, I.T DEP WILL ASK IT TO FILE AGAIN

Just dont worry & dont get Panic, You said you have paid Tax Immd after filing Return.. So be sure yuour Return will be accepted without any hassle... Just send your ITR V & incase any query comes Just respond to it giving your Response & Details of Tax Payment & your return will get Validates & Accepted... I had faced this situation & did same as what I have told above...

Thanks for your responses guys.Now I have received notice from IT Department that my ITR is defective and I need to submit response.The notice is in section 139(9)

So now I have to prepare X M L.I am confused in which section the return should be filed.

whether it should be in 17 revised return or section 18 139(9)

Also i want to add that in the defectice return I had tax liability of 488(408 tax +80 Rs interest u/s 234A)

when I select either section 17 or 18 it is showing tax payable only rs 408 and a refund of rs 80.Interest is not being calculated.

So Kindly help me with this this is my first case.Guidance is deeply appreciated thanks
