ITR 6 AY 2021-22

Hey Atharv! The JSON validation error related to the MAT schedule for ITR-6 AY 2021-22 is a known issue sometimes faced on the e-filing portal, especially when the MAT schedule is not applicable but the system expects it.

Here are some quick tips to fix this:

1. Ensure you are using the latest ITR-6 utility from the Income Tax e-filing website. Old utilities may cause schema mismatches.

2. Double-check the JSON file: Open it in a text editor and search for any MAT schedule related fields. They should either be blank or removed if not applicable.

3. Use the offline utility to generate JSON rather than third-party software. The official utility handles non-applicable schedules better.

4. If the portal insists on MAT schedule data, fill the schedule with zeros or "Not Applicable" as allowed in the utility.

5. Clear browser cache or try a different browser — sometimes UI glitches cause improper validation.

6. If all else fails, contact the IT e-filing helpdesk with the JSON file for specific support.
