Arithmetical Error in BP u/s 143 (1)(a)

I received an intimation u/s 143 (1)(a) for an arithmetic error in schedule BP via mail on 31.12.2019.

1)In schedule BP ,SI No.A.13 Profit or loss after adjustment for depreciation (10+11-12iii) and the sum of amount entered in SI.No.10+11-12iii are inconsistent.


2) In schedule BP, SI No.A.35 Income (13+26-34) and the sum of amount entered in SI.No.A13+A26-A34 are inconsistent.

HOWEVER i checked the values in the return and there is perfect match.
there is no arithmetic error.

I prepare the return using excel utility where all items in schedule BP were calculated automatically.

what is the reason for such intimation? ?

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses an intimation received under Section 143(1)(a) of the Income Tax Act, citing an arithmetic error in Schedule BP. Despite meticulously checking the figures, which appear correct and were auto-calculated in an Excel utility, the user received this notice. Other users share similar experiences, particularly concerning business income and F&O transactions, questioning the cause of these discrepancies.

I also have same question
I think is this in reference to Speculation loss / profit. ??
But there is no speculation loss /profit.There is normal business income.

i have recieve the same intimation inrespect of business loss from F& O transactions, all figures ARE correctly placed but still shows inconsistancy in the intimation

I have same question , i have f&o profit, all calculation are correct but same notice from cpc
