Getting Error at the time of verification

Quick Summary
Users are encountering a verification error in ITR 3 stating that dividend income in Schedule OS/EI cannot exceed the amount reduced from Schedule BP. This often occurs for those with presumptive business income or capital gains alongside dividend income. Several users have found a solution by ensuring the dividend amount is consistently entered in Part A Profit & Loss Account (item 14(iii)), Schedule BP (item 3), and Schedule OS (item 'ai' - Dividend Income). While some report success after these steps, others suggest that if books of accounts are not maintained, this may not be applicable, and the warning might be ignorable or require specific handling by deleting pre-filled amounts and re-entering them manually.

even that is not working i did it 3 times but still same error. I think there is some internal error in ITR desiging only.

May be try closing the utility and try again, in my case after this no error shown.

Thanks Kamal Chaudhary. It worked for me also filing my ITR3

The below solution works. Just need to have patience to get the error 2-3 times even after updating as mentioned. Do logout and re-login after 15 minutes and no more errors will be shown.


"Dear Taxpayer, Please note that this is a Category B/D error in case dividend amount is reported under schedule OS and same is not entered under Profit and loss account and amount is not reduced from SI. No. 5 in Schedule BP. So kindly report the same under these schedules to resolve this. In case there is no requirement to maintain Books of accounts and 44AA option is selected as NO under Schedule Part A general, then kindly proceed and continue filing the return since it will not restrict filing return of income. If the issue still persists please share the json."

I too get the same error 


Dear all, I also faced the issue with ITR 3 regarding the dividend aspect. Now the issue is resolved for me. Please follow the below.; 1. Showed the Dividend in Part A P&L 14(iii) Dividend Income. 2. Entered the Dividend in Schedule BP 3di Dividend Income. 3. Put the Dividend in Schedule OS ai Dividend Income. 4. Showed Quarterly Break-up of Dividend in Schedule OS 10(3) I presume ITR 3 has some updation issues w.r.t dividend income and its taxation, as initially dividends were not taxed for investors and by Finance Act 2020 it is taxable for Investors. You can also follow the below youtube link, which helped me a lot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzWHVvCOpG0
The problem is when no Books of accounts maintained, we cannot fill Part A P&L 14(iii) if no books maintained.

Same error again. Then what to do. Please if anyone have solution regarding this, Thank you in Advance.

FIND THE SOLUTION    

I have also faced the problem but find the above Solution

FIRST OPEN THE PART-A PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT AND EDIT 14(iii) AND write the DIVIDEND amount in and save the data

Second Open the Schedule BP and Click 3 and click edit and enter the Dividend amount here also save the data

Third Same amount in Schedule OTHER INCOMES

after the above steps click on validate then it's redirect the issue. in 2nd time when I validate it's successfull

Technical glitch..It allows you to continue with the error/warming.

Showing in BP and P&L would not be correct treatment as No Book case has been opted. Continue with the warning ⚠ 

Hi Pradeep, did you find a solution? I am facing the same problem.
