Revising after receiving a refund:
• If the original ITR for AY 2023-24 (filed 16 July) was processed with a refund, and you found an error, you could revise it until 31 December 2023 (the revision window). After that, a revised return isn't possible.
• If the error increases tax (e.g. missed income), file ITR-U (within 48 months, until 31 March 2028), paying tax plus additional tax.
• If it decreases tax (more refund), ITR-U isn't allowed. Seek rectification (154) if it's an apparent mistake, or Sec 119(2)(b) for a refund claim.
