Quick Summary
Users are encountering an error in the ITR Common Filing Utility where the system prompts for a Residential/Office Phone Number, even though it's not a mandatory field. Several workarounds have been suggested, including entering '00000000' or using the first two digits of your mobile number in the STD code field followed by the remaining digits in the phone number field. This method has proven effective for many users, resolving a bug that prevents proceeding to validation.

Yes the portal is not working properly
I think it accept the mobile number.
Enter same mobile number as u have entered as mobile No 1

Nidhi, It does not accept mobile number.

Yes, it's not accepting
According to me, you can just put 00000000 in that.

Thanks Nidhi for confirming, I will wait a few days for them to fix this , if not then will proceed with 0s

You just remove the 91 from the residential phone number cell.

Yes. It works. 

How Harshada pls tell

If your mobile no is 982612345

Then erase 91 and in place of 91 enter  first 2 digit of your mobile no like 98 and after that enter the next number 

Like this 98 _ 2612345

 

 

 

 

 

 

I faced this exact problem this year (AY 2023-24) for ITR-2 & thanks to the 2-years old solution in this thread I was able to work it out. This error is an algorithmic bug because the field that throws the error is not even a mandatory field. Interestingly, I filled the same form last year but this field did not throw an error for me then. Anyway, thank you all for the solution.

You can try 12345678 (Use as many digits as required)

Hello can anyone please give any possibile solution for this

Hi CS26kit  How you solve this error because I am getting this error and i have tried all above steps but not able to solve help me 

 

 

 

 

Hi All,

We can save it by simply removing 91 from 'Residential/Office Phone Number with STD/ISD code' field.
