Revised Return Filing
Filed something wrong? Correct it cleanly before it becomes a notice.
What this is
A revised return replaces your original return under section 139(5) when you missed income, claimed a wrong deduction or picked the wrong details. There is no penalty for revising within the allowed window.
Who should use this
You forgot an income source such as interest or a second Form 16
You claimed a deduction you cannot support with proof
Bank details, personal details or the ITR form itself were wrong
The AIS shows entries that your filed return does not
What you get out of it
No penalty
Revising within the window carries no late fee for the correction itself.
Stops future notices
Fixing an AIS mismatch now avoids a section 143(1) adjustment later.
Refund corrected
If the original return understated your refund, the revised one recovers it.

Revised Return Filing questions
Until when can I revise?+
Generally up to 31 December of the assessment year, or before assessment is completed, whichever is earlier. Confirm the current window with us.
How many times can I revise?+
There is no fixed limit within the window, but repeated revisions attract attention, so we get it right in one pass.
Can a belated return be revised?+
Yes, belated returns can be revised within the same time limit.
Will revising trigger scrutiny?+
A genuine, well supported correction is routine. Leaving a known mismatch unfixed is the bigger risk.
