My deduction claim under 80 G for ITR 1 for FY 2023-24 (AY 2024-2025) of 2,44,000 is incorrect.
I erroneously put the 80 G amount as 2,44,000 instead of putting it in HRA and put my HRA as 40,000 instead of the correct amount which is around 3.2 lpa
My return got processed AND I received a refund of around 17k in 2024
Last week I received the following Notice
Income Tax Return Discrepancy Notice – AY 2024–25
Here’s the transcribed and cleaned-up version of the notification message:
