Solution to filing REVISED RETURNS in indiaincometax efiling site.
1. Open the xl software on which you had prepared your ORIGINAL RETURNS (e.g. "2010_ITR4_r10.xls") and make your changes in your Revision.
2. Click on the "PART A - GENERAL" tab.
3. Go to the "Return filed under Section" and change it from "11 - u/s 139(1)" to "11 - u/s 139(5)".
(This section indicates that it is a Self Revision and not due to any constraint)
4. Whether original or revised return? Select "revised".
5. If revised, enter Receipt no and Date of filing original return (DD/MM/YYYY). Here enter the 15-digit Acknowledgement No & the Date of the Original Return. This can be found in the acknowledgment that they sent you by email.
6. Click on 'Validate' btn, then click on 'Calculate Tax' (if youi have make any change in sef-offs in Capital Gains make sure you go to CYLA-BFLA tab and click on 'Calculate SetOff" tab as well before you Calculate Tax)
7 Finally click on 'Generate XML' button and then click on "SAVE XML" button. And note the path where your .xml file is saved.
8. Login to https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in site with your username and password.
9. And upload your new xml file JUST LIKE YOU SUBMITTED YOUR ORIGINAL RETURNS.
IT WILL BE ACCEPTED AS A REVISED RETURN AND YOU WILL GET AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
