We must explain to you how all seds this mistakens idea denouncing pleasures and praising account.
Rectification of ITR means correcting any mistake that happened while filing your original income tax return. Sometimes, people file their ITR correctly but later notice small errors, such as incorrect personal details, an incorrect TDS amount, an incorrect deduction claim, or a mismatch in income details. In such cases, instead of filing a new return, you can simply file a rectification request under Section 154(1) of the Income Tax Act.
It’s important to understand that rectification is not about changing your entire ITR; it’s just for fixing mistakes that were unintentionally made and are visible in the processing done by the Income Tax Department.
If your ITR has calculation errors or TDS mismatch, it might lead to extra tax demand. Rectifying helps cancel such incorrect demands.
If refund is not processed due to a mistake in your ITR, rectification allows you to claim the refund you deserve.
Instead of filing a revised ITR, rectification helps you correct only the mistake that occurred in the original filing.
If your TDS amount was wrongly mentioned, rectification helps in updating the correct details without trouble.
Sometimes errors occur due to wrong data pre-filled from Form 26AS or AIS; rectification solves it easily.
You can request the department to reprocess your ITR if you believe the error was made during processing, not by you.
If you receive an intimation under 143(1) with mistakes, rectification is the official solution to fix it.
