  6. Sir can u please clarify regarding the point "(Remember to select the section 139(9) and put the Notice Number and Notice Date in your return)" ? How can I enter it while preparing the return in winmann software?
    Please reply at the earliest. It's very urgent
    PS: The original return was filed by another auditor and I am not having the softcopy of the same in Winmann. So is it enough if I generate a fresh ITR and upload it under the response to 139(9)?

    1. Sorry Rajesh Ji for a late reply, If you have not yet filed the response please get your answer below:

      The point as mentioned by you means that there is a option in the ITR form which ask you to file details if you are giving response to section 139(9). I have told to fill the same. ANd regarding Winman Software, please contact their custom care, they would give you the details

      Regarding the ITR details, it can be generated through your Income Tax LOGIN in My Return Option.

  8. I have filed my return on 03.08.2014 after the due date. After filing the return I noticed in the ITR-V that the data I entered was not captured properly (The return is showing my gross income and other deductions as 0 and hence shows the entire tax paid as eligible for refund). How do I rectify this issue before sending the return to the IT Department.

    1. First of all please download the ITR V once again and check the details. There is a problem with CPC system and it is showing incorrect figures.

      If it is still wrong, file a revise return again and don't send the ITR V of the Original return. CPC is accepting the ITR V of Belated returns as it will be original for them.

    1. Tats the same doubt I have. Do I need to fill the itr1 again and then generate the xml and submit the same? @Amit to pay the tax there is a link in the website which says, "E Pay Tax". This will take you to another page where in you need to select the "Self Assessment Tax" and then it will redirect you the the bank gateway you choose and you will get the acknowledgement number which needs to go in the ITR1 form tat will nil out the taxes.

  27. I paid the remaining tax liability the chalan generated by bank mentions BSRCode as 0004XXX. To generated xml i added it to excel but same is not allowed. If i try with 4XXX i get message "Invalid value 4XXX of element BSRCode is not valid" when uploading xml.
    Just to see if any other field might be issue i added BSRCode as 1234567 and it got uploaded.
