@ Thomas John

I had mentioned when I started this thread that after prefillling data, the utility was insistent that I fill salary schedule, although I do not have anything for filling in S schedule.

Then I had tried your method. But the ghost ( joking of course) in the utility caught it and would not allow me to validate anything.

Hope it works for others.

If no pin code available, use 999999, this is as per advice of efiling portal

Use prefilled json, filled all required schedules and validaed. but I was also getting schedule S error while calcualting tax....So FIlled S also with all zeros and whatever details required, Schedule S become Ok, tax calculated ok but stuck on generating Json for 30 min, i had to force close excel and come out. Lost all input data in this long non sense xercise. ITR2 is buggy for sure. 

@ Debashish Ghosh

Have you been able to actually upload the ITR-2 JSON files of your 2 clients on IT website? If yes, what Excel version are you using?

It is quite true that the excel utilities had very little error or failure under TCS. Why was there a need to have a fresh contract of Rs 4242 crore to a new vendor to develop an entirely new product, that too when the count of taxpayers is hardly 2.2 crore. The remaining 6.1 crore returns are zero income tax returns. 

Why such a big rigmarole to develop or overhaul a existing system for such a small set of population? 

Arthakranti Group long back in 2015 or 2016 had informed the government that for such miniscule group of taxpayers, why do we need the ITR and income tax reporting model? Just do away with it and go on some other model that will be more realistic.

@ J S Bhavsar

The demonetization was partly on the Arthhakranti group's recommendation.

People really enjoyed it by dancing on the streets.

@ Ranjan

I give up, bro. After seeing few comments of successful filing here, I once again tried the completely manual method from scratch that too on Excel 2016. The "Calculate Tax" button gave me hell this time as well. During the 4 or 5 times that it failed the 4% Cess thing happened & at one point it actually didn't apply Sec. 87A despite the row for 87A correctly showing the rebate amt !! On 5th try it worked. However after all this the ambiguous and non descriptttive upload Null error for json was still present while uploading on site.

In ITR2 Excel, PART A General - Below option dropdown is greyed out. If we select the No from the dropdown we are getting error "You are trying to change protected sheet"

Whether you are Director in a company at any time during the previous year?
If yes, please furnish following information -

ITR2 Excel unable to Select No from the dropdown which is greyed. It is not allowing to Select No.

Whether you are Director in a company at any time during the previous year?
If yes, please furnish following information -

Post FY 2025-26 most of the income upto Rs 12 Lakh will be tax free bringing down the net income tax payer count.

Do we still feel for a meagre 1.8 crore income tax payer count, we must maintain hundreds of offices and officers and staff and such a vast machinery to collect income tax from 1% of population?

 

@ J S Bhavsar

Many pertinent questions from you.

But remember:-

1984 is gone long ago but BIG BROTHER is watching 200% now.

@ Cs26kit

Do not get disheartened.

You are far ahead of many including me on tackling the beast.

You have generated JSON, I am yet to succeed.

And @ Debashis Ghosh has yet not replied back to your query, although his first and ONLY post till now, he repeated 6 times (with 6 emails coming to all of us) !!!

@ J S Bhavsar

This is reply to your DIRECTOR YES/NO query.

First of all, Why Not Become A Director for filling this ITR2 ? {Joking]

The answer I had already provided in this thread, you just need to search and read it.

 

In my case the ITR 2 excel is not opening. It goes into repair mode and after 16 attempts says cant be repaired. Any solutions

 

@ Chitsy

The ITR-2 Excel utility opens fine. I have checked it on Excel 2016 and 2021 and 2024 versions. It is after opening the file that the real issues begin. Try unzipping the ZIP file and opening the Excel file within it on some other comp. That will show whether your Excel installation is damaged.

@ Chitsy

You have had it for AY2025-26!!

Now budget and buy a Top of the range PC /Laptop, perhaps costing only 100000/- to file your return.

Or get in touch with #Debashish Ghosh who has claimed successfully filing 2 returns on 2nd day of miracle of the utilities appearing.
