Exemption s was mentioned under incorrect sections. Received U/s 143.1.a with deduction 0

I am physically handicapped person with disability of 76%. Im eligible for a tax exemption of rs 75000. I have filed my returns. I have mentioned that 75000 in section 80u.i have filed my disability exemption in 80dd for last 2 years. Also i made a couple of other mistakes i mentioned my NPS in 80c instead of 80ccd 1B and my lic in 80ccc. Due to these errors i have  received a notice 143.1.a stating my total deduction are 0 as per form 16a and not 225000 (150000+75000). I want to know why was my 75000 not considered? Is that because i filed it under 80dd previous year ? And my other 150000 was not considered because i selected incorrect sections ? Can i file a revised returns with NPS in 80ccd 1B . lic in 80c and disability under 80u ? Can someone please tell me.

Yes, revise the return with proper sections; as and when compliance window open, disagree to the demands.

sir why was my 80u not considered? do i have to file it in 80dd like i did it in previous years?

Following kinds of disabilities as certified by a medical authority qualify for tax deduction u/s 80U.

  • Blindness
  • Low vision
  • Leprosy-cured
  • Hearing impairment
  • Loco motor disability
  • Mental retardation
  • Mental illness
  • Autism
  • Cerebral palsy

So, section 80U deduction applicable in your case subject to fulfilment of the conditions.

For more details refer: section-80u-income-tax-benefit-for-a-person-with-disability/

Section 80DD is for disabled dependent.   Not applicable in your case.

sir do i have to submit proof if i choose to disagree the demands

Yes. if opted for.......... But try for disagreement without that, if you don't have proof handy.
