What does error code 202 mean for defective ITR return marked under 139(9)?

Quick Summary
Error code 202 on a defective ITR return under section 139(9) typically means the total income reported in your return is less than the gross receipts shown in your Form 26AS, particularly for income where tax has been deducted at source (TDS). To resolve this, you must either offer all receipts as per Form 26AS in your return or claim TDS proportionately based on the income you've declared. If the deductor has provided incorrect information in Form 26AS, you should request a rectification from them and then inform the department via the e-filing portal's rectification process.

1. The error (202) is due to missing or incorrect information about your income on which tax has been deducted (TDS).
2. You should have reported this income under the appropriate sections in your tax return.
3. If you didn't report this income properly, the system is now restricting your TDS claim.
4. To fix this, you need to file a corrected return that includes all the income mentioned in Form 26AS, or you can claim TDS proportionally based on the reported income.
