Notice 139(9) how to reply.

I received notice under 139(9) error code 31. But now I figured that I didn't show my income under 44AD. Notice clearly says not to change any income heads and if to change then file revised itr. So what should I do, reply under 139(9) or 139(5) as revised. Please help

Dear Gaurav, you should revise your return u/s 139(9) 

Simply revise the XML. and upload it in response to u/s 139(9). if it shows error then file revise return.

Thank you both for your replies.

Just to be sure there won't be any problem then to change my income head. 

Error Code 31 : Tax Payer having income under the head “Profits and gains of Business or Profession” but not filled Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss Account

Just simply fill all the the details including details you earlier missed in relevent form of ITR and upload the revised X M L  in resoponse to section 139(9).

Hope it will work properly...

Actually I didn't show any income in 44ad. So I think it chose 44aa for my return by default. My profit is > 8% so I don't maintain any Acs and my cash in hand is also 0.

So I want to correc profit under 44ad rather than to fill B/s details

you not need to fill your blance sheet, fill only gross receipt & net profit coloum in ITR-4 .thease coloum are below in P&L account in ITR-4. 

Thanks everyone
