Error with 80TTA - category A defect

Dear experts,

I am getting the following category A defect which prevents me to upload the ITR3 return.

Error descripttion: Deduction u/s 80TTA should be restricted to "Savings Interest Income" included in Gross Total Income.
Suggestion: Enter the amount mentioned in "Saving Account Interest Income" included in Gross Total Income in "deduction u/s 80TTA".

 

While entering the details, I have added savings bank interest in "Income from other sources". The same amount has been added in Schedule VI-A --> Part CA and D --> deduction u/s 80TTA .
Both the amounts exactly match.

On the ITR utility, there's no error during validation. After I proceed towards uploading the return, a fresh validation is run on IT portal during which the aforementioned error occurs preventing me to upload the return.

Your suggestions to handle this error are most welcome.
