Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the persistent issue of 'defective return' status on income tax returns (ITR), even after submitting a reply. Participants note a significant increase in resolution time, from weeks to several months, since the launch of the new income tax website. They are seeking clarification on the process, potential causes like missing attachments, and whether others have experienced similar delays or issues with receiving notifications.

Earlier it was resolving in 7 to 30 days..But after new website is launched , it is taking minimum 3 to 6 months to resolve the issue
Any notice have u have received ?
After new website launched 139(9) is not getting email but it shows in the website after the time limit is over
Sec 139(9) incidents after the notice had been served.

a)the return of income is defective.
b)the assessing officer may the assesse the opportunity to rectify the defect within a period of 15 days from the date of such intimidation
c)if defect is not rectified within the given time
d) if defect is rectified within the given time but before the completion of assesment.

removal of defective status
chk the return with the accounts a few statements, prepaid taxes , accounts should accompany the return of income otherwise return is defective.However it is not possible to attach any certificate or report or computation of accounts whatsoever. It may be retained. In case there is a need for sending them to the assessing officer when situation arises.
Practical problem completely different after the launch of new website
