Defective notice and return invalidated

In one of our case defective notice was issued stating that since the gross receipt exceeds 1cr you have not attached tax audit report but we won't agree with the same as our gross receipt was less than 1cr and we filed response to the same. The same defective notice was issued 6 to 7 times we have filed response in all but forget to file in last notice and therefore the return was invalidated. So my question is what can we do now. We have contacted to CPC but no response was received. Can we submit letter to Cbdt or can we file an appeal or anything else.

Quick Summary
A taxpayer's return was invalidated after failing to respond to a defective notice, which incorrectly stated their gross receipts exceeded £1 crore. Despite multiple responses to previous notices, the final one was missed. The taxpayer is seeking advice on how to proceed, having received no response from CPC and considering options like contacting the CBDT or filing an appeal. It's suggested that filing a rectified return with the Assessing Officer might still be an option, even though the 15-day window has passed.

In such cases it imperative upon the assessing officer to issue notice u/s 142.
however you have an option to file a rectified return before AO takes any action. although15 days are over, file a rectified return.
This case is of AY 19-20
When did you receive the notice of invalid return?
In March 2021
