Slump sale errors in ITR-3 are common due to specific reporting requirements under Section 50B. Here is how to resolve:

1. Section 50B Compliance: Slump sale (transfer of a business undertaking as a going concern for a lump sum consideration without individual asset values) must be reported under Schedule CG (Capital Gains) in ITR-3. The net worth of the undertaking is treated as cost of acquisition.

2. Form 3CEA Mandatory: Before filing ITR-3, ensure Form 3CEA (Report of a Chartered Accountant in case of slump sale u/s 50B(3)) is filed by the CA from CA's IT portal login. This form must be accepted by the assessee. ITR-3 validation will throw an error if Form 3CEA is not filed/accepted.

3. Common Errors in ITR-3:
- Schedule CG: Fill 'Slump Sale' section correctly — enter full consideration received, net worth of undertaking (as per Form 3CEA), and resultant LTCG/STCG.
- If the undertaking was held for more than 36 months: LTCG applicable (taxed at applicable slab for companies/firms, or 20% for individuals with indexation not applicable for slump sale).
- Net Worth = Book value of assets minus liabilities of the undertaking (as per last audited balance sheet).

4. Offline Utility: If using offline JSON utility, ensure you have the latest version — slump sale schedule was updated in some AY utilities. Download fresh from incometax.gov.in.

5. If Error Persists: File a grievance on IT portal citing the specific error code and slump sale schedule issue.
