Important Notes before e-Filing Rectification Request

  • You must file using the latest CPC Order for the selected Assessment Year. For eg: If an order has been passed by CPC on 27th September, 2013 and another order has been passed on 15th December, 2013, the assessee can e-File ONLY using the latest i.e. 15th December, 2013 order.
  • You can file another Rectification for the same Assessment Year ONLY if the previous Rectification request is processed.
  • The CPC order details can be used ONLY once to file a Rectification. Any subsequent Rectification should be filed using new/latest CPC order details. However, the same CPC Order details can be re-used if the e-Filed Rectification has been withdrawn by the assessee ( Note: Time forwithdrawal is 7 days from date of e-Filing the Rectification)
  • The rectification request can be withdrawn within 7 days if submitted by mistake or the request needs to be amended. LOGIN and GO TO ‘My Account’ –> ‘Rectification status’ to withdraw the Rectification.

Tips to the user on filling the Income Tax Return

The complete Income Tax Return should be e-Filed and NOT just the schedules/ fields that need change/correction. However, there should NOT be any revision in Income or new claims of deduction/ exemption made in the Rectification request, as this would lead to rejection or delay in processing by CPC. Please note that this facility is only provided by Income Tax Department for correcting mistakes. In case you wish to make changes in Income or make new claims, a Revised Income Tax Return should be filed as per the Income Tax Act, 1961.

Common mistakes while filing Rectification

  • It is noticed that Communication Reference Number mentioned in the CPC Order (u/s 143(1) or 154) is entered wrongly. It must be mentioned exactly as it appears on the CPC order.
  • Right Assessment Year should be selected.
  • The complete Income Tax Return should be e-Filed and NOT just the schedules/ fields that need change/correction.
  • In case of change in ‘Income’, a rectification should NOT be filed. A revised Income Tax Return should be filed in this case, of course, subject to the time limit as per the Income Tax Act, 1961.
  • In case of change in ‘Bank Account details’ OR ‘Address Details’, a Rectification should NOT be filed. You can LOGIN and GO TO My Account –> Refund Re-issue request and raise a request for change in the Bank Account/Address details (in case of refund failure).

Note:  The Bank Account details and Address details as in the original Income Tax Return (processed) will be considered for any refund/demand notice, and not the bank account/address details mentioned in the Rectified Income Tax Return.
