Error Message at the time of Verification of ITR-3

Dear Sir,

After completing all Schedules, and downloading the Preview, when I proceed to verify my return (ITR-3), I get an error message " Maximum length should not exceed 14 characters."

The error does not specify its location. I have checked all input figures, specially in Schedule 112A, but could not locate the error spot. Kindly help

We encountered the error earlier, but not with new utility. So, re-start filling data with new utility, without fetching the earlier filled data, it works.

means we cant use draft ITR...so do we do data refilling in offline mode or works only under online mode ?

As said earlier, we had encountered the problem earlier. Rather waiting for resolution from CPC end, we chose the said alternative path and solved the issue. Well, we are working on offline module, with prefilled data downloaded form the site. Even uploaded some HUF returns without much difficulties.

The file name should be small not exceeding 14 characters.

There is no provision of naming any file manually. Not able to get the point.

When a person has finished preview a person is given an option to save file before uploading the completed ITR . It's at this moment you have to use a file name not larger than 12 characters!
