Fee for default in furnishing return of income (section 234F)

Fee for default in furnishing return of income (section 234F). I am using ITR-2 to file my taxes today January 4th. When the form is filled completely and taxes are being calculated it is levying Rs 10,000 as penalty for "Fee for default in furnishing return of income (section 234F)" though the deadline for filing has been extended to January 10, 2021. Is this correct? Can I manually override that entry and make it "zero"? Can someone please help shed some light on this? Thanks.

Quick Summary
A user filing their ITR-2 encountered a Rs 10,000 fee for default in furnishing their income return (Section 234F), despite the filing deadline being extended. They questioned if this was correct and if the fee could be manually set to zero. The consensus was that the Income Tax Department had updated their utility to reflect the extended deadline, and downloading the latest version resolved the issue for the user.

Yes you can manually done it
Income tax department has already updated utility you can also use that
Download new utility and file again
Thank you all. Downloaded the utility again and it works like a charm now. Appreciate all the help.
