To resolve a demand on an invalid return, log into the Income Tax e-Filing portal to identify why the return was invalidated (often due to lack of verification or unresponded defect notices). Depending on the findings, you can either file a rectification request if it is a processing error, submit a condonation of delay if you missed a deadline, or formally respond to the specific notice issued by the Assessing Officer.
