ITR-2 filing issues

There are too many issues with ITR-2 online filing with application getting hung and asking for non-required fields as mandatory.

I went with offline excel utility and was able to get through will correct calculations. However while generating JSON, it is stuck after 33.33% of JSON encryption. There are no further messages / errors.

Any indications on how to proceed further ?

Thanks !!

Quick Summary
Many taxpayers are experiencing significant difficulties with the ITR-2 online filing system, citing issues such as the application freezing and mandatory fields being incorrectly required. While the offline Excel utility initially seemed promising, users are encountering problems with JSON encryption getting stuck. Common errors also relate to Schedule ESOP validation, even for those without employee stock options. Solutions suggested include using the standalone offline utility instead of the Excel version and providing dummy data for specific fields if they don't apply to your situation, particularly for startup-related entries.

@ Sugata Biswas

Your thread headline is wrong.

It hould be "ITR-2 Filing Woes".

Because it will make you shed tears

I have filed my ITR-2 online myself (not a CA) and overcome a few validation errors, After I see the preview of the return and want to upload the return, I get a upload error. 

Upload Level Validation ITR2 SI. No 1
Error Descripttion
[#/ITR/ITR2/ScheduleESOP/DPIITRegNo: string does not match pattern DIPP[0-9]{3,5}, #/ITR/ITR2/Schedule ESOP/PanofStartUp: string does not match pattern [A-Z]{5}[0-9]{4}[A-Z]]

It looks to be an error pertaining to the ESOP page. I have removed that schedule from the return, as it does not pertain to me. I am retired and do not have ESOPs 
Has anyone else faced this problem ? Please advise.
Thanks. 

Am encountering the same

problem of json encryption getting stuck at 33.33%. How did you resolve the problem? 

@ Vishnu

Search in the Forum, there are other threads, where we have given replies to your problem.

If you are using the excel utility, then just drop it.

Use the Standalone Offline Utility, and you will succeed in filing ITR-2.

This is due to developer code error...

Form is expecting PAN NO. 

DIIPTR NO.

Simply give dummy PAN NO. It can be yours also and DIIPTR NO. Like DIP123

 

DON'T FILL  ANY AY DATA AS YOU DON'T BELONG TO STARTUP COMPANY 

 

NO FURTHER ERROR

Most ITR-2 errors this season are coming from three places: the quarterly capital gains breakup in Schedule CG (each transaction needs dates and quarter attribution), the AIS pre-fill mismatch where the portal sometimes double-counts dividend entries, and the new bank balance disclosure requirement. Share the specific error message you are getting and the fix is usually straightforward. For people with multiple income sources, capital gains, and carry-forward losses, the new form schema is genuinely more complex this year.
