better you file a revised return if your original return is filed within the due date

i think even if u have by mistake taken the due date as 31st july...income tax system will take it as a belated return...n according to me belated retun cannot be revised so better u write a letter to CIT n i feel that on genuine grounds he may accept ur return as a valid return filed within d due date....

Any arthemetical error and incorrect claim under Income tax return will automatically rectified by CPC and same will be intimated to you via Intimation U/s 143(1). In your case return can not be revised as it a belated return as you said above. Just wait for the Intimation from CPC and if you found that same is not rectified by CPC then write a simple letter to your AO he will do so till that time no need to worry.

Dear Hardik,

I would suggest you to wait for the intimation u/s 143(1). In reply to that you can file rectification letter. As you have filed belated return, it can not be revised. However, there is a scope u/s 119 to apply to addl. commissioner or commissioner to rectify the mistake or even to file a revised return. If they found it genuine and it effects your tax liability then you will definitely get the permission.

But I don' think that will be required. You will be able to file a simple rectification request online once you receive intimation as mentioned in starting. Second option is just for your information.
