Exempt income treated as other source by IT in prefilled form

Respected Sir/Madam.

I have a PPF a/c and the interest earned on PPF is exempt income from Tax. I also have some other income apart from Bank sav & FD interest. This other income is not visible to IT. But want to declare it to be fair and honest.

Now in my prefilled JSON form, IT has put the PPF interest as Other income and wrongly added it to the taxable income.

I have removed it from there and added Exempt income schedule in my ITR2 form and shown it over there. I have then added my actual other income in Other field for tax computation.

I logged a grievance just in case mismatch query comes from IT dept.

Is there anything else to be done here. Thank you.
