Issue with JSON File Requirement -

*JSON File Upload*: The portal requires a JSON file for upload, which might be challenging if you're not familiar with the format.

Steps to Proceed

1. *Download JSON Template*: Check if the portal provides a JSON template for download. If so, fill in the required information and upload the file.

2. *Use a JSON Editor*: Utilize a JSON editor or a text editor with JSON formatting capabilities to create the file.

3. *Consult a Professional*: If you're not comfortable with JSON files, consider consulting a professional or seeking assistance from the portal's support team. Electricity Expenditure Query -

*Rs. 2 Lakhs Spend/Electricity*: If you're unsure about how to answer this query in the Excel utility, you may need to:

1. Clarify the question: Ensure you understand what the query is asking.

2. Consult the utility's documentation: Check if the utility provides any guidance on answering this question. 3. Seek support: Reach out to the portal's support team or a professional for assistance. Recommendations -

*Familiarize yourself with JSON*: If you plan to work with JSON files frequently, consider learning the basics of JSON formatting and syntax. -

*Seek assistance*: Don't hesitate to ask for help if you're unsure about any part of the process.

Reply is not correct.

As of only excel option is available. Use the excel based software. After completing all the validations create the json file using the option in excel software.

Then upload the json file already created using excel software

Always give short and sweet answer instead of giving a long lecture. At the end of the lecture most of the time there is no answer in your lectures

Hi Jayanta

Raja Sekar has answered your query about the 2 lakh matter:-

For 2 lakh electricity bill select Yes for Are you filing return under Seventh Provision to sec 139(1) in Income Details Tab

Raja Sekar has also explained about json creation from Excel utility.

And I had verified that the ITR-1 Excel utility of AY25-26{current year] can import data from the json files uploaded in AY24-25.

After importing the data, one needs to delete earlier figures of income, tds, tcs etc and fill the data for AY2025-26.

Finally validate all sections, calculate the tax,

if need to pay more, pay it,

then add the tax paid in TDS section as Self Assessment tax,

again validate, TDS sheet,

reculculate tax,

if nothing remains to be paid, then create json,

then go to efiling site, log in and upload the json.

If json is ok, the site will accept and give itr-v.

Then go for VERIFICATION of your filed ITR to get rid of the headache for one year.

Hope it is clear

Hello Jayanta

Shirish has already given alternative [Online filing enabled]

However, about your query about excel utility , selecting yes for Filing under "Seventh Proviso To Section 139(1)" , please note the following:-

The key word is "Exceeding". So where amount 2Lakh, if you enter 2lakh and 1, for foreign travel it will be accepted.

Same for Electricity , 1Lakh + 1 for electricity consumption.

Likewise, all such entries, put an amount 1 Rupee more than what figure is supposed to have been exceeded.

Regarding the "ONLINE" thing, that is very tricky, because prefilled figures would be tough to check. Because, AIS, TIS and 26A figures, invariably, do not match. One example - the AIS lists an amount as SB Account income, which is actually TDS and shown as TDS , correctly, in 26AS.

Better to download AIS, TIS and 26AS , spend some time comparing the figures and try to use the best fit figures in the excel utility.
