Section 80DD Deduction Filing Error

While filing my Income Tax Return (ITR-1) for the Assessment Year 2025–26, I attempted to claim a deduction under Section 80DD in respect of my dependent son, who has been certified with 90% permanent disability (Autism Spectrum Disorder with Severe Mental Retardation).

I duly submitted Form 10-IA online on 15th June 2025. The acknowledgement number for the form either auto-populates or can be manually entered in the 80DD Schedule.

However, after entering the details in the 80DD Schedule  and Clicking the save button, I encountered the following error message:

"Acknowledgement number of Form 10IA filed for self and dependent can't be same. Please provide proper acknowledgment."

I would like to clarify that Form 10-IA has been filed solely for my disabled son, and not for myself. There is no duplication or incorrect selection from my end.

In view of the above, I am unable to proceed with the return filing due to this persistent error.

1.     Is this a known technical issue with the Income Tax portal?

2.     Is there any corrective step required from my side to resolve this?
