Re-check verification schedule
I have checked in that it is showing today's date only. still error is appearing.
i think in first schedule itr i.e., general (name and pan).....u might have selected filing u/s 139(9) or any other section.....thats y it is asking date of filing of original return.......

am jzt guessing
You open utility Excel file and go to General particular schedule and then use validate button . And this way validate all sheets. And then generate X M L again.
i have selected 139(1) option only

Date of Filing need to be entered in CFL Schedule of ITR for successful generation of XML.

I have been trying to file online returns ITR 2 but I get the error as –

“Please enter valid date” and on clicking on the error it takes me to the CFL screen. However, there is no clear message what needs to be done. Has anyone facing similar issue and is there a solution or workaround  for this?

Solution Found:    "Date of Filing"  for all the Years Listed, i.e. from AY 2015-16 onwards has to be filled Correctly.  Once correctly filled, error is resolved.  How to resolve, open CFL section,  Edit the date of filing each AY listed in the table.  You can get date of previously filed dates from  efile->Income Tax Returns-> View Filed Returns.    The download the excel file for ease of getting the data.
