Quick Summary
This discussion addresses how to respond to a defective income tax return notice received under Section 139(9) of the Income Tax Act. The main challenge highlighted is the requirement for a Document Identification Number (DIN) to file the response, especially when the registered contact details are no longer accessible. It clarifies that DIN refers to a Document Identification Number, not a Director Identification Number, and explains that the response to a defective return notice must be filed through the e-filing portal. The CPC reference number, which is the ITR acknowledgement number, is also mentioned as important for this process.

CPC Reference number is required
You can submit the response under E-proceeding tab.
Cpc reference number is useful
Thanks for the reply
May i know what is CPC reference number, is it ITR Acknowledgement number ?
WRONG QUESTIONS FROM THE QUERIST
Ok do you clear in detail
DIN AND SECTION 139(9) ARE TWO DIFFERENT ASPECT.
DIN STANDS FOR A NUMBER.
139(9) IS A DEFECTIVE RETURN .
THE QUERIST HAS RECEIVED A NOTICE UNDER SECTION 139(9) .
SO HE HAS TO FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING COURSE OF ACTION:(I WILL TELL IT PARTIALLY)

1 A return is defective when all items in income tax return form must be filled in the manner indicated in the return form.If any schedule of the relevant form is not applicable it should be scored as---NA____---
2. THE RETURN OF INCOME WILL BE CONSIDERED AS DEFECTIVE UNLESS THE TAX TOGETHER WITH INTEREST IF ANY APPLICABLE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SEC 140A HAD BEEN PAID BEFORE THE DUE DATE OF RETURN OF INCOME.
3. A FEW STATEMENTS,PROOFS ,PRE PAID TAXES SHOULD ACCOMPANY THE RETURN , OTHERWISE THE SAME WILL BE REGARDED AS DEFECTIVE.
Thanks for your time & great knowledge
My concern is
when i file itr to response defective return it's showing 1 error & demanding *Unique Number/ Document identification number*, so do you help me to how can i find this number
For the number ask the assesse .
DIN IS DIRECTORS IDENTIFICATION NUMBER.
Centralized Processing Centre
