Quick Summary
Users are encountering a recurring validation error in the ITR3 Excel utility for AY 25-26, specifically within Schedule EI, even when they have no agricultural income. The error message states that the description at SR.no.2 is compulsory. Solutions suggested include deleting the schedule if not needed, or for those who must fill it (e.g., for exempt dividend income), clearing all entries in SR.no.2 and SR.no.3, including dropdown selections and zeros, which has proven effective for others.

If you do not ned the schedule EI, delete it from the Schedule 'General'.

I have exempt dividend income so i have to fill schedule EI. Is there anyother way?

Delete everything in Sr. NO. 2 & 3 all, even delete the word "select" which shows in drop downs & apperar in columns.

I had same issue yesterday, this way it worked. Try it may work for you too. 

In sr no.3 I converted all drop down to "select" and deleted everything including zero and it worked. Thank you.

Good that it worked.

You are welcome.
