I have received a Intimation u/s 143(1) notice on Jan 17th 2025 with notice of demand u/s 156 of the Income Tax Act, 1961. When checked my ITR somehow my HRA exemption is missing in my return filing.
When I file rectification its not allowing saying gross amount is changed. I am unable to file revised or updated return as I see only 139(8A) option when filing again. What should I do in this case, please suggest.

139(8A) is for the updated returns only.

Receiving an intimation notice can be stressful, especially when you've discovered an error in your ITR. Key Takeaways 1. *Rectification vs. Revised Return*: Since you've already filed your ITR, you can't file a revised return. Instead, you'll need to opt for rectification. 2. *Gross Amount Changed Error*: The error message is likely due to the change in gross amount caused by the missing HRA exemption. 3. *Option 139(8A)*: This option is for updating your ITR after an intimation notice under section 143(1). You can use this option to update your return. Steps to Resolve the Issue 1. *Respond to the Intimation Notice*: Reply to the notice, acknowledging the error and stating that you're taking steps to rectify it. 2. *File Rectification*: Try filing rectification again, ensuring you're using the correct option (139(8A)). If the issue persists, consider consulting a tax professional. 3. *Submit Supporting Documents*: Attach supporting documents, such as proof of HRA exemption, to your rectification request. 4. *Follow Up*: If you don't receive an update or acknowledgment, follow up with the CPC (Centralized Processing Center) or your local income tax office. Additional Tips 1. *Keep Records*: Maintain records of all correspondence, including the intimation notice, rectification requests, and supporting documents. 2. *Seek Professional Help*: If you're unsure about the process or need assistance, consider consulting a tax professional or chartered accountant. By following these steps, you should be able to rectify the error and update your ITR to reflect the correct HRA exemption.
