I FEEL EVEN YOU FILE RETURN THIS WILL GET CORRECTED  IN INTIMATION 143 1

EVEN IF YIU FILE THIS WILL BE CORRCTED IN INTIMATION ORDER 143-1

New invention If you see the amount tax demand equal to cess amount when tax is set of with 87A and you create JSON file then in JSON file demand is more than cess, means no 87A given, when you return to utility, it will show demand tax calculated without 87A, again when you click on calculate tax again it will show cess value in demand.

Wait wait wait for on line filling if this calculate good then go ahead. Hope they will extend time limit to 30th Oct 25, three and half months already lost and no on line forms.

Tax calculation to JSON file have problems

So you think they will release Java utility? That will be great. I uSe linux and excel utility needs licensed MS Office.

More complain could mean more NICE NOTICE !

@ jagdish chhugani

People already taken annual leave to wrestle with the FANTASTIC UTILITY and defeat it somehow.

@ Sreevidhya V

Same with me. I too have mentioned it in another post that the "Calculate Tax" button gives incorrect tax. The Tax after 87A rebate will be shown as Rs. 0 but the 4% Cess that is applied on the Tax before the Rebate remains as it is! This should be Rs. 0 too. You have to redo 2-3 times before it gives correct tax calculation.

If you have submitted the JSON on portal and the downloaded Preview PDF after submission shows incorrect tax then it means the Tax, once again, got recalculated incorrectly somewhere between "Generate JSON" and "Save JSON" processes.

My suggestion is to file a Revised Return under Section 139(5). Go through all the steps and generate the JSON file again. DO NOT UPLOAD IT. Open the file in a text editor like Notepad & use the search function to search for the "amount values" you entered or search the fields like "Refund" or "Tax". See if they match with your desired values. If not, then regenerate JSON. (Do not edit it in the text editor). If everything is correct then you may upload it to the portal. If you don't wish to do all this, it is understandable. Just wait for the intimation & see if it gets corrected in there. I am not sure it will be though.

This "jumping through the hoops" to file a simple return is something a common taxpayer should not have to go through.

If anyone from Infy is reading these forums - a useful suggestion - after a successful JSON upload, instead of having ITR Verification as the next step, the portal must show the PREVIEW of the uploaded JSON. Only after the User approves the preview the Verification step should follow. Without this intermediate step the User has to blindly trust the "generated JSON" to contain the correct data which can be previewed only after submission. This is required because the "Summary" page in the Excel Utility, which is supposed to act as the final "Preview" page before saving the JSON file, is an exemplification of uselessness - riddled with errors. Also, your current Utility and the Portal validation are at odds with each other.

GIST of  ' @ Sreevidhya V'  Story: Even when it is working fine, you cannot trust this Utility and have to cross-check and confirm everything for yourself.

This utility has become like the AIS saga.

What can be trusted now?

 Why to file ITR  from utility after knowing bugs, when you have Good time till 15th Sep 2025, they already delayed for 3 months  15 days  , keep your calculation ready , if takes just little  like 10 to 15 min time to file  validate and verify.

You might get more extension if online get delayed beyond 31st july 2025.

Any way emails on income tax site not working post master returned emails not reachable.

ITR2 ON LINE AVAILABLE NOW , PROBLE IS IF YOU DONT HAVE SALARY, IT IS ASKING SOME EXAMPTION FOR SALARY SCHEDULE  AT VALIDATION, YOU NEED TO GO BACK AT SELECTION OF SCEDULES TO ENSURE SALARY SCHEDULE IS NOT SELECTED, AGAIN COME BACK TO VALIDATION AND VERIFICATION. 

@ jagdish chhugani

Your report about CPC e-mail site not working.

Perhaps the email site died from shock of 150 crore complaint emails.

Some welcome news about ITR-2 on line filing becoming available. But, you all found, Even the ITR-2 Online is buggy. And 95% of Indian locations have poor, not steady, internet, inspite of Mukesh Bhai Jio trying their best. 

So we should be provided the JAVA based offline utility soonest, so that all work can be completed offline, and final filing [uploading json] can be done in a few seconds of internet availability.

One month 15 days in fact. But hope they upload Java utility- easier to work with.
