Mr. A had filed his Income tax return for AY 2017-18 on 22.12.2017 claiming no refund and also no tax were payable in that year. While filing his return due to an oversight, under Income from House Property, he had claimed 50% ownership instead of 100% ownership. The department has also issued intimation u/s 143(1) on 03.03.2018. After realizing the mistake, the assessee now wants to correct this mistake. But online rectification in e-filing portal is not allowed now, as the Gross Total Income is changing due to the above mentioned correction. Also there is no option available for revised return in e-filing portal for AY 2017-18 due to time bar. When enquired the above mentioned position with CPC, they advised us to approach the Assessing Officer.
But the query is: whether we should approach the assessing officer for revising the return or making a rectification for AY 2017-18.
Thanking you in advance.
