I have not won any lottery till date .But the developer want quarterly break-up of lottery winnings. Please help me to file ITR-2, it is blocked after validation (without error)  with above error, I am continuously trying for last 3 days. I have remitted around 3 lakhs Tax, (no more dues) but monthly interest u/s 234(a) growing up, every month.

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a common ITR-2 filing error related to lottery income, specifically the requirement to declare winnings in Schedule OS and under Section 115BB. Users are encountering validation issues even after paying taxes, leading to accumulating interest. A potential workaround suggested is to enter '0' or a nominal amount for lottery winnings to bypass the error and successfully file the return, despite the ongoing technical glitches with the new tax portal.

It is technical glitch. Most probably removed in new utility version, DUv 1.0.17 release on 30th Sep. 2021.

Download the new utility & try the validation again. Check  there is any remark is there in red ink, at the bottom of the last page, i.e. on verification page!!

Almost everyone got this error during last week of september. Hence they couldn't file return. Unfortunately those with self assessment tax>100000/- will now pay additional interest u/s 234A for october also for no fault of theirs :(. Very unfair !!!

This error is still coming even with the new utility DUv 1.0.17. Is it only for senior citizens? 

how can it be solved?

This error is still coming even with the new utility DUv1.0.17, I am preapring and submitting ITR-2 online, I have remitted the tax, still every monthb interest u/s 234(a) added by Rs.1800, really painful, there is nobody to hear,and rectify, Assesees are bleediing with the new portal

Yes, and income tax department is saying that the glitches and errors are on new tax return filing website and not on tax paying website hence no excuse should be allowed.

Fill all the details and fill  Rs. 0 in amount won, or Rs. 10. it wont affect much, but you will get past the error.
