My wife has filed IT returns in time based on the Form 16 received from employer. It was noticed that the tax received as per 26AS was less than shown in Form16.

Now employee has informed that it was a mistake in Form 16 and may issue revised Form 16.

Now if revised ITR is filed does she need to pay Rs 5,000 to IT for no mistake of hers?

Ans: If original return is filed before due date and same is verified within 120 days (before filing revised return), late filing fee is not applicable.

Appreciate the work you are doing for non-finance background people (like me). I have a question related to income tax if you could help resolve it. I filed IT return before 31st Dec and observed the Form 16 provided by the employer is incomplete. Basically, our organisation went through a legal entity change last year, so ideally we should have got two Form 16s: One for the previous entity and another for the new entity. During filing the return, only new Form 16 was considered by mistake and I have a previous entity Form 16 in hand now but after filing the returns how do I correct my IT returns? Again, thank you in advance for all help.

Ans: You can rectify errors made in income tax filing even after you finish filing under section 139 (5) and you can do refiling. This revised return can be filed before three months prior to the end of the relevant assessment year or before the completion of the assessment. So, the last date for you to to file a revised return using both the form 16 for FY 2021-22 (AY 2022-23) is December 31, 2022, for ITR filed for FY 2021-22.

When you do re-filing, you are supposed to select the option ' Revised u/s 139(5)' in the 'return filed under' column. The ITR form will additionally ask you for details of the original ITR, i.e., receipt number and date of filing of original ITR.

Since you have 2 Form 16s, after uploading the first Form 16, you need to click on ‘upload another Form 16’ and submit so that both Form 16s gets uploaded.

I must highlight that normally when you have 2 Form 16s there would be additional tax payable due to double count of various exemption limits and deductions in each Form 16. You would end up paying interest on the additional tax as well.

I have filed my ITR-1 for AY 21-22 in time. Demand was raised on 14 Jan for Rs 1,690 on processing of my ITR. a) I have paid the amount on 27 May, 2022 through net banking against challan no 10574. BSR code 0510308. I have erroneously paid Rs 1,690 in serial 300 (self-assessment) instead of SL 400. The amount remains to be shown outstanding in mine account and acceptance of return remains pending. I have tried to correct the SL 400 through my PAN account but I have not been successful in changing serial. In rectification icon this amount of Rs 1690 is not shown because only payments prior to submission of ITR are only shown. However, this Rs 1,690 is shown in it is shown in 26As. So I have not been able to change to SL 400 instead of SL 300. b) I requested for reprocess of ITR so that this amount may get reflected and ITR will be accepted. After reprocessing request amount has been reduced to Rs 1,230. But ITR has not been accepted. It is showing with additional interest of Rs 108 as on today. c) Additionally Rs.1690 + Rs 112 has been deducted from refund of next year return on 14 September 22. This is also reflected in 26AS d) Therefore I have paid Rs1690 through net banking challan plus Rs 1,690 through deduction from refund plus Rs 112 as interest. Total payment made 1,690+1,690+112 = Rs 3,492. Whereas I am required to pay only Rs 1,230. e) ITR still outstanding and not accepted till date and amount of Rs 1,230 is reflected unpaid. Sir my query is: a) Am I required to pay amount Rs 1,230 + interest? After the re- processing, despite having paid Rs 1,690 against initial demand by net banking plus there has been deduction from refunds. i.e. twice if I ask for re-processing? b) Now that amount has been paid. What action I need to take to complete the processing of ITR.

Ans: If tax demand is paid after 30 days, income tax charge interest @1%. I understand that Rs 112 is interest charged for late payment of tax demand and all other demands are not valid. Such demand can be deleted by filing application u/s 154 of the income tax act.

Check e-filing portal “outstanding demand” tab. If rectification rights are with CPC, you can request CPC Customer Care to transfer ITR to assessing officer.

Once the case is transferred, you can explain the issue to jurisdictional officer, request officer to pass rectification order as mistake is appearing from records and issue refund for wrongly adjustment of next year refund.
