Hi Friends, I logged into the ITR portal to check what my CA has been doing all these years and I found that Filing Status is shown as Defective. When I looked into the details, it showed --

21/07/2016 ITR Filed

01/08/2016 ITRV Received

30/10/2016 ITR Filed is defective/incomplete

Rectification/Response to Defective notice u/s 139(9) for the above filing

24/11/2016 ITR Processed

Is the issue resolved? If yes then why is the listing table still showing Status as Defective?

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses confusion regarding an ITR filing status showing as 'Defective' even after rectification and processing. Participants clarify that the status display can be confusing, but the crucial indicator is the 'ITR Processed' status, which signifies the issue has been resolved. A defective return would typically be accompanied by a formal notice, and once processed, the return is considered approved.

I think original (initial) return was defective which has subsequently been rectified and thereafter ITR is processed. Problem resolved.

Okay but will the filing list continue to show Defective?

Status displays stepwise process. When you click on the link for the year, the last one is the latest status. If that shows ITR processed, it means no problem.

No problem as Rectification return u/s 139(9) has been filed so there will be no problem.
ITR processed and it will be displayed after due time that your return is approved by Authority
