Errors in ITR Filing: Minimum One Character Required

Thanks for information...      

Sir, 

I encountered an error while validating my ITR-1 form. It has been displayed that Minimum One Characters are required under the field descripttion. Can you please guide me, how to validate this error.

regards,

Avoid haste.

Validate each section and look for error messages to locate where the problem exists.

Then correct it and validate again. 

Keep on doing this till each section Validation say OKAY

Finally go for calculate tax, create json etc etc.

This error means a section in your ITR form has an 'Others' or descripttive dropdown selected but the mandatory text descripttion field is empty. Go through each section, check for any row where you selected a category (especially under Other Sources of Income or Deductions) and look for an unfilled descripttion box below it. Fill in at least one character in every such field, then run Validate section by section until each shows OKAY, then proceed to Calculate Tax. Before re-uploading, it also helps to cross-check your AIS against your 26AS so you are not caught by a data mismatch later.
