Today (14-Jul-2018) I downloaded ITR2 Form, Filled, Validated and Generated XML.
While I tried to submit my XML in e-Filing portal, it always reject my submission with the following error:
"The XML Scheme is invalid. Please upload XML in the correct schema.
At Line No. xx : The value '98206.25' of element 'ITRForm: xxxxxxx' is not valid."
As a rule ITR forms does not accept fractional values. So I didn't entered any .25 anywhere. But I guess somewhere in the internal calculation formula, they have not done rounding off. When XML is generated, these fractional values appear, which I think is getting rejected during uploading the generated XML file..
To circumvent the problem, I edited the XML file and removed the fractions, which appeared in 3 different places. Now while uploading the above mentioned error didn't appear. But instead I got a different error stating "Invalid XML. Please generate XML again using the latest utility.". But I downloaded the version dated 07/07/2018, which is the latest version provided by IT Department.
No matter how many times I Validate the ITR2 Forms individually, Calculated Tax, Generated XML, the same error keep repeating.
Now I am stuck. There is no mechanism in the IT website to report this problem. Unless this error is resolved, I cannot submit my ITR2 for this AY2018-19.
Anyone experienced similar error? Can anybody use their contacts with IT Department to inform them to rectifiy this BUG in their ITR2 Form? (I don't know anybody.)
I have enclosed a screen shot of both errors.
Since the last date for submitting ITR is 31-July-2018, an early advice will be much appreciated.
Thanks
