Section 139 (5) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 allows taxpayers to file a revised income tax return if they have made mistakes in the returns which were filed earlier. 

Section 139(5) states that if an assessee after filing their tax return discovers any omission or wrong statement, then he/she can furnish a revised return.

Revised Return under section 139(5) means filing an income tax return once again to rectify errors and omissions made while filing the original income tax return. You can file a Revised Return if you discover a mistake made in filing your original ITR.
