UPDATED ITR FY21-22

This discussion addresses a query about filing an updated Income Tax Return (ITR) for FY21-22. The original ITR was defective and filed within the due date, but the rectification was filed after the due date, selecting the new tax scheme. Despite this, the return was processed under the old scheme, resulting in an Rs. 80,000 demand. The user asks if an updated ITR can be filed using the old scheme to reduce the tax liability to Rs. 20,000 and if this would nullify the existing demand.
