Quick Summary
This discussion addresses an error (ITD-EXEC2003) encountered while filing an updated return under Section 139(8A) of the Income Tax Act. Users are seeking help to resolve this issue, with suggestions including clearing cache, checking for foreign characters in pre-filled data, and ensuring compatibility with the correct MS Excel version (Windows 2007 and above recommended). The distinction between an updated return (Sec 139(8A)) and a defective return (Sec 139(9)) is also clarified.

Keep trying in updated excel version
Sec 139(8A) IS A DEFECTIVE RETURN AS PER INCOME TAX ACT 1961

Sec 139(8A) is a updated return and sec 139 (9) is a defective return both are different

 

 

 

Try after clearing catche data and thereafter try to file fresh once again.....also check if prefilled data has any foreign characters such as ,..."*# etc
Might be issue with excel version if you are doing offline..

Use the excel which is compatible with IT website..

Else do the filing online
Have anyone filed updated return till date of any client
Filed for past 2 years but we didn't get any error

I have filed updated return 

Problem might be with your ms Excel..Use windows 2007 and above instead of 2003
