Revised ITR Filing in India — Online, by Verified CAs

When you should revise your return

• Income shown in AIS or Form 26AS that you did not report — bank interest, dividends, sale of shares
• A deduction under 80C, 80D, 80G or HRA you forgot to claim
• The wrong ITR form, wrong regime, or wrong assessment year
• Incorrect bank account details holding up your refund
• A mismatch notice under section 143(1)(a) asking you to respond

How revision works

1. 01
   Review the original return

   Your expert pulls the filed return and compares it line by line against AIS, 26AS and your documents.

2. 02
   Identify all corrections at once

   Better to revise once, completely, than to revise repeatedly — multiple revisions attract scrutiny.

3. 03
   File under section 139(5)

   Quote the original acknowledgement number so the revised return supersedes it.

4. 04
   E-verify within 30 days

   Only a verified revised return replaces the original.

What revision does not fix

A revised return cannot be filed after 31 December of the assessment year, and it cannot be used to switch out of a regime choice in every case. If the deadline has passed, an updated return (ITR-U) is the remaining route — but it carries additional tax, so getting the revision in on time matters.
