Can we revise return after the return has been "processed" & intimation u/s 143(1) has received for FY 19-20 ie AY 20-21?? And if not, then Pls suggest the way to claim the amount of deduction which was not been able to claim in return.

Quick Summary
Yes, you can revise your tax return even after it has been processed and you've received an intimation under section 143(1). Receiving this intimation does not constitute an assessment. The deadline for revising your return is typically before the end of the relevant assessment year or before an assessment is made by the AO, whichever is earlier. For FY 19-20 (AY 20-21), the government extended this deadline to 31st May 2021, allowing ample time for revisions and claiming any missed deductions.
Of course you can go for revision. because intimation under sec143(1) doesn't amount to assessment. one should file revised return before the expiry of time limit for revision or assessment by A.O. which ever is earlier. here no assessment made and you have time limit till 31.05.21. go for revision with out thinking.
With reference to sec 139(5), where it is clearly mentioned "return can be revised any time before the end of relevant assessment year or assessment, whichever is earlier".
Aren't it contradict it? Because I have also received the demand.
