Error Message in Validation of ITR

3078 views 15 replies

I am compiling an updated Income Tax Return under Section 139(8A) using the excel utility offloaded from Income Tax portal . I am using form ITR-2. During validation and calculation of tax , I am getting an error message as under:

" Descripttion at SR Number 1 in sheet E1, is compulsory."

The sheet E1 is for reporting exempt income. I don't have any exempt income , so I have reported 0 income. I cant see any provision for giving descripttion in sheet E1 format.

Can someone guide on action to be taken.

Here are some details, see the screen shot below. I don't have any Exempt Income to show, EI sheet shows below error (screen shot attached) Excel utility for itr2. Any help is appreciated, Thanks!

Just put nil in the descripttion column and 0 in the value column. For all 6. Columns 

At Sr. No. 3, under descripttion, there are multiple dropdowns. Just click on dropdown and select "Select" instead of Any other. This should solve your problem.
