Quick Summary
If you've received a notice for a defective income tax return under section 139(9) and are unable to resubmit, you might need to file a revised return directly under section 139(5) as a fresh filing. If you haven't yet responded to the defective notice, address it first using the provided options. If those aren't suitable, select the best available option and then proceed with filing your revised return.

You cannot reply twice for the same defective notice.

Nor you can revise it.

You can file revised return u/s. 139(5) directly as fresh filing.

If I file fresh return then what about the notice which I have to reply on or before 19 July which I received for defective return.

If you have not replied to the defective notice, you may reply to it first as per the suggestion or options available in it.

But in case you are not satisfied with the available options, you must reply to it with best option and then file revised return as per your choice.

Upload the notice . obviously one single action is required.

Responding to a 139(9) notice:

• Respond within the time given (15 days, extendable on request) through e-Proceedings, uploading a corrected return in response to the defect notice. It's treated as a response to the defective notice, not a revision.

• If you need to revise again (a second response), the system permits a fresh response within the time. Use the "Respond to 139(9) notice" option, not the regular revised return.

• If the response isn't accepted (still defective), the return may be treated as invalid. Then you may need to file a fresh belated return (if within time) or ITR-U.
