Salary - TDS filing - VI A Deductions

A client while filing TDS returns for Salary, in the Salary annexure, has forgotten to mention the deductions under Chapter VI A. But the tax has been calculated according to that. So 24 Q is processed with defaults. 

I checked with the online correction facility available on TRACES, but it doesn't allow to edit rows in the Salary annexure.

In return preparation utility, I am not able to enter deductions. The cells in which deductions under chapter VI A needs to be entered is grey in colour and I am not able to type anything in them. I downloaded the conso file from TRACES. Uploaded it in RPU for correction --> I will have to delete the row and re-enter the whole details again. But it doesn't seem to allow it or maybe I am doing something wrong.

Can someone help me?

Quick Summary
A user is facing difficulties correcting TDS salary returns on TRACES. They forgot to include Chapter VI A deductions in the salary annexure, although the tax was calculated correctly. The TRACES online correction facility and the return preparation utility (RPU) are not allowing edits to these specific deduction rows, which appear to be greyed out. The user is seeking help to rectify this oversight, particularly after opting for the old tax regime.

Opt for old regime, to allow the deductions.

I have opted for the old regime. 

(To opt old regime) You have select 'YES' for "Whether you wish to opt......." query.

Traces old regime
In the RPU Grey cells you might notice a sell in which you can check the status for the row & select Update in the same afterwards you can add the deductions
