Income Tax Department Offers Options to Correct Mistakes in Filed Returns
Taxpayers who make mistakes in their Income Tax Returns (ITR) can correct them through different options. The Income Tax Department allows filing a Revised Return under Section 139(5) to replace the original return for genuine errors, with deadlines extended to March 31, 2026. Additionally, a 'Discard' facility lets taxpayers remove an unverified ITR and file a fresh one before verification, available from Assessment Year 2023-24. Delays or missed deadlines may lead to penalties or late fees.
