1. Not now. You are required to either rectify the defect by submitting the BS & P&L part within 15 days. Or it will get invalid.

2. Once it gets invalid, a belated return (if within time limit) can be filled afresh, where in you can file ITR 4S, for any eligible business with eligible income.

In IT e-filing website, you can agree with the defect, choose Form ITR 4S and upload Form ITR 4S XML file.

Dear Sir,

Is wait till status "Invalid Return" for fresh ITR filing in ITR-4S Form.

Can file belated return whenever Orignal ITR file after 31st July.

Thanks Sir

Sorry, to say that belated return cannot be revised. But fresh belated return can be filed, if time limit permits.

Better to rectify the defect itself by either providing the details as asked i.e. (1) P&L & BS in case of books of accounts maintained or (2) if elegible case for non- maitaining the accounts, providing just details like sundry creditors, debtors, cash in hand and stock figures.

Thank You Very much Dhiraj Sir for guide & Best Adivce to us.
