Dear All,

I filed my return for AY13-14 on 3-8-14 subsequently revised it on 5-8-14 realizing some mistakes(The return had Salary income for part of the Year and minimum Loss in Share trading for Carry forward).However while sending the hard copy to CPC I inadvertently signed and sent the original return (sent on 3-8-14) as both the original and revised return had similar acknowledgement numbers(last 3 digits same). I realized my mistake when I received a 139(9) notice in 9-2-15 giving me 15 days to reply or the return will be rejected.Since I was aware of the mistakes in the Original return I did not wish to carry it forward and did not reply,expecting it to be rejected.I then filed a revised return on 30-3-2015 giving only the Salary income and foregoing the Loss in Share trading (as the due date for claiming setoff was already over).I received another reminder on my 139(9) notice on 20-8-2015 giving me another 15 days to reply.

My questions are'

i) Can I reply to the 139(9) notice with the revised return (of 30-3-2015).

ii)Has the filing of my revised return liable to be rejected ? How can I connect the two.

iii) Is there any Helpline Email of the Income tax department or any Official whom I can write/mail to for guidance.?

Please Help.

Regards.

T.Chakrabarty.

Mr Chakravarty

When you respond to 139(9) it means you have to file fresh return bcoz your return was defective

you should file revised return mentioning the 139(9) notice

a) whether original or revided - say revised

b) you should mention notice no under 139(9) and the date besides it

c) In filing status everything is clear

first revise the return and remove all defects

mention as in a) & b) in ITR-v form

upload and verify

HAPPY e-filing revised return under 139(9)

Dear Mr Siroor,
I tried to reply to the 139(9) notice with the revised return and stating 'revised' as advised by you..However the software is not allowing the option of 'revised' return when reference of 139(9) is given.It states "Return cannot be Revised if return not filed under section 139(5)" Only 'original' is allowed.
Shall I go with 'Original '. and upload my revised return ?

oops yes - you are filing original return bcoz original return filed earlier is defective.

You have to select return filed under 139(9) - @ "return filed under section"

i hope this is clear

Once you file revised return it is advised to send both the acknowledgements i.e. both Original & Revised ack & once you receive any notice, you have to reply to the notice with the mentioned stipulated time. Thank You!
