ITR FILED DEFECTIVE - FAILED TO SUBMIT THE ONLINE RESPONSE DUE TO RESPONSE DATE CLOSED

An individual filed their Income Tax Return (ITR) which was later deemed defective under Section 139(9). Unfortunately, they missed the deadline to submit an online response because the response date had closed. This occurred after a belated filing which included penalties and tax payments. They are seeking guidance on how to rectify this situation, with a suggestion to file a revised return by the 15th of January 2025.
