Please advice ... Name Error in ITR

I filed my return for the current assessment year before the due date. However there is a minor error in the "First Name" in the ITR, everything else is fine.

What should I do for my return to qualify as good?

(Please Note: I have a capital loss that has been carried forward)

Quick Summary
If you've filed your Income Tax Return (ITR) with a minor error in your first name, don't e-verify the original return. You should first upload a revised return with the correct name and then e-verify it. Ensure this is done before 31st March 2021 to properly carry forward any capital losses.

You have to revise the return before 31.3.2021
Hello KJS,
Your name in ITR is on the basis of your PAN Card. Kindly check there and rectify there. The Tax department system will automatically update it in your e login credentials.
Thanks and Regards,
RA

Kindly note: The name in the ITR is incorrect, not the PAN

As such, I am asking about the original ITR.

1. Can I e-verify it? Or, will it be an issue?

2. Should I revise before OR post e-verification of the original return for my losses to be carried forward?

3. And the last date for revision (if needed) would be?

Then you have to revise your return before 31.03.2021
