I tried to upload my XML for ITR2 for AY19-20 on the income tax website but it gave me this error - "At line number 257: Invalid content was found starting with element 'ITRForm:DeductionUs54F'. One of {"https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/master":ExemptionOrDednUs54}' is expected.

I only have interest income from savings account which has been put under 'income from other sources' and everything else is nil. All below taxable limit and hence no tax payable either.

Can someone help?

Same error with other ITR2 which has salary, capital gains (LT loss) on sale of equity shares and income from other sources. Any suggestions?

Thank you all for your help. I was using a version from 10 days back and that's why it was giving me weird errors. I downloaded the latest version today and it all got uploaded without a hitch.

I knew since I didn't have anything u/s54F, there was no need to fill it - just needed the new version of the ITR.

Hello . Latest version is that of 12 Jul for JAVA and 11 Jul for Excel. Even these versions were giving same validation errors. Once I did as per my post above no errors and uploaded successfully. Under LTGC 54F as above put 0 it did not ask me further details and since LTCG is 0 it wont make any difference technically.

File free of cost your income tax return with clear tax software and get rupees 50 on successful filing in your paytm account. Its referral scheme of clear tax so take advantage of it also easily and smooth filing of return Unlike in utility you have validation error many times So drop your email id for sending link. This is not fake it's real believe me after successful file you get following message from clear tax ClearTax has added Rs. 50 in your Paytm Wallet Cleartax Referral. For future reference, transaction id is 25512878170. Note -you get rupees 50 only when you filed own return and not of third party.
