Response to defective return notice in case of 139(8A)

To resolve the defective return notice, you'll need to address the error message "Updated Return needs to be submitted along with Verification as per Rule 12AC." Since you've already generated the revised JSON file, here's what you can do: - *E-verify Your Response*: Ensure you've e-verified your response using any of the available methods, such as Aadhaar OTP, net banking, or others.¹ - *Attach the Verified JSON File*: Upload the e-verified JSON file in the "Submit Response" tab. This should resolve the error message. - *Alternative Option*: If the issue persists, try responding to the defective notice by disagreeing with the notice and providing a reason for disagreement. However, this should be done only if you're confident about the correctness of your return. Regarding your concern about filing the ITR again, you're correct that the third proviso to Section 139(8A) restricts re-filing. However, since you've received a defective return notice, you're required to respond to it and rectify the defects.² ³ ⁴

Thankyou sir. But since the revised json cannot be uploaded it won't get everified either. Actually after submitting response it should proceed to everify right? Still I am getting this error before submitting the response. Is there any other solution because I need to rectify the defect asap. 

same error m getting..have u got any solution ??

No I haven't got any solution for the error.

Try contacting the IT department or raise grievance. I got response to grievance and the issue was resolved by them itself.
