Updated IT Returns u/s 139 (8A)

Question:
Can I still file an Updated Income Tax Return (ITR-U) for AY 2022–23 in this year (FY 2025–26)?

On the Income Tax e-filing portal, I see that updated returns are allowed only for up to 24 months from the end of the relevant assessment year. Since AY 2022–23 ended on 31st March 2023, the 24-month window would have closed on 31st March 2025.

Does this mean I cannot file an updated return for AY 2022–23 now, and the option is permanently closed? 
If not, how can I file the updated ITR at this stage?

Thanks in advance.

The rules for filing an updated income tax return (ITR-U) have recently changed. As of April 1, 2025, you can file an updated return for up to four years (48 months) after the end of the relevant assessment year.

For the financial year (FY) 2024-25, you will be able to file an updated return from April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2030. In the financial year 2025-26, you can file updated returns for assessment years 2021-22 to 2024-25.

If utility not released, wait for updation.
