📌 What is a Revised Income Tax Return?
A Revised Return is filed under Section 139(5) of the Income Tax Act. It allows taxpayers to correct errors or omissions made in the original return.
Whether you missed reporting income, claimed the wrong deduction, entered wrong figures, or selected the wrong ITR form, you can revise the original return without penalty, as long as the revised return is filed within the stipulated time frame.
✅ Revised returns completely replace the original return once processed.

✅ Who Can File a Revised Return?
Any taxpayer — whether an individual, salaried employee, freelancer, business owner, or HUF — can file a revised return, provided:
•    The original ITR was filed within the due date
•    You discovered an error in the return related to income, deductions, bank details, etc.
•    The deadline to file the revised return has not expired
📌 Even if your original return is already verified and processed, you can still file a revised return.
