Quick Summary
This discussion addresses issues faced by taxpayers when responding to a defective notice under section 139(9) via the new Income Tax portal. Users are reporting difficulties uploading rectified XML returns, encountering errors like "Something Went Wrong" and "You Are Not Authorised To File." Solutions suggested include waiting for the system to stabilise, filing grievances for extensions, taking screenshots of errors, and potentially using previous year's Java utilities. Some users have reported the issue being resolved by the Income Tax department, while others continue to face persistent problems with the portal's functionality and lack of support.

You may wait till 15.09.2021 for system to get stabilized. If the problem persists, file complaint under Grievances, asking for extension of time to respond.

Thank You Sir, for your prompt response. I have already filed the Grievance, no reply as of now. Will ask for extension due to unforeseen circumstances created by New Portal.

Take screenshot of the error message.
in case you are not able to comply within 15 days this might be useful in appeal stage

I am also facing same issue.

The issue has been resolved since the Income Tax has considered this difficulty and given more time to resolve it. Now, the filing of returns under section 139(9) is running smoothly. (As on the date on which I am writing this reply)

Thank you. For your kind support.

Sir,

We are still getting the same error of something went wrong, can you guide as to which X M L is to be used for uploading?

Thanks in Advance

 

I have tried to-day also. While uploading the X M L file it says: YOU ARE NOT AUTHORISED TO FILE.

May kindly advise which X M L to attach in response to notice under section 139(9).

We are filing the same from software. Don't know exactly how they are proceeding with the same. But, as per my knowledge, we have to use the previous year Java utility and file the same u/s. 139(9), mentioning acknowledgement, date of order, CPC no., etc. 

Please correct me, if I am wrong.

Also, you can search on Youtube for the solution. Many have uploaded the detailed steps to file the same.

Further, there might be the possibility of some issues with the website, today. Take the screenshot and file grievances, attaching the same.

Hope this helps...

I AM FADED OF THIS NEW INCOME TAX PORTAL. 

SUPPORT KI TOH DOOR KI BAAT, GRIVIENCE KA BHI KOI JAWAB NAHI YAA RAHA.

Good luck, Kiran S. Bhoite. At least, you could generate X M L. file under section 139(9).

In my case, after downloading ITR-3 for AY: 2020-2021, there is no option available for filing " in response to notice u/s 139(9).

I lodged grievances for the last one week, but with no reply/ action. Very much disgusting.
