Income Tax Notice under Section 139(9): How to identify defective ITR notice, how to file revised return

People who have made a mistake in filing ITR are being sent a notice by the Income Tax Department. This is called Defective ITR Notice. Taxpayers receive this notice either on their email or it is sent through post. If you have also received a notice of defective ITR, then you have to correct your mistake within the time limit given by the department. Usually 15 days are given for this. Know what you have to do on receiving the notice.

How to identify Defective ITR Notice

Defective ITR Notice is sent to you by the department under section 139(9). It has been seen mostly that when the email of this notice comes, its subject reads – ‘Communication under section 139(9) for PAN AWZXXXXXXX for the Assessment Year 2023-24’ or whatever the assessment year is. With this, you can identify your defective ITR notice. File Revised Return within 15 days or else…

If you receive this notice, then within 15 days you have to correct your mistake and file a Revised Return. If you are unable to do this work within this timeline, then a penalty can also be imposed on you. In such a situation, your return can be considered invalid, which means that you did not file ITR for that assessment year. If you are short of 15 days to correct your mistake, then you can apply for an extension.

How to correct the mistake of Defective ITR

To correct the defective ITR, first of all go to the e-filing portal and login with ID-password. After logging in, go to the ‘e-Proceedings’ tab and read the notice carefully and collect the necessary documents to correct the mistakes. After this, choose the appropriate response option in the e-proceedings section. A new page will open, correct the mistakes there and upload the required documents. After making all the necessary changes, cross check once and then submit the revised return through the e-filing portal. On receiving your revised return, the Income Tax Department will send you a receipt as an acknowledgement.

For what reasons can you get Defective ITR Notice

If the spelling of your name does not match in PAN and ITR, then the ITR can be declared defective. If you enter the wrong challan number while filing ITR, then the ITR can be defective. This can also happen if advance tax is paid for the wrong assessment year. Many times, wrong TDS returns are filed by the employer, which also leads to this. If there is a mismatch between income and TDS, then also your ITR can be proved defective. If tax audit is required, but it has not been done, then also ITR can be defective. If a person has deposited less tax than his tax amount, then also his ITR can be declared defective and a notice can be sent to him.
