This discussion addresses a common ITR validation error related to dividend income, specifically when it appears in Schedule OS or EI. Users are encountering a message stating that dividend income in these schedules cannot exceed the amount reduced from Schedule BP. While some suggested checking the 'books of accounts not required' option, this didn't resolve the issue for everyone. It appears to be a glitch, possibly flagged by ICAI, and some users have proceeded to file their returns despite the error, hoping it won't cause future problems.
