Income tax · a return already filed
A revised return under section 139(5) corrects a return that was already filed. It is not a second original return. The office is at 515 Trichy Road, Singanallur.
This page is a revised return under section 139(5). A belated return stays on the belated return page. An updated return stays on the updated return page. Do not send the income-tax password in chat. Call +91 94454 38387.
It corrects a return that was already filed under section 139(1) or section 139(4). If no return was filed, that is a belated return under section 139(4), on the belated return page. A revised return is not a second original return. If Form 16 and the AIS disagree, start with the mismatch check before the correction is filed.
It is generally open until the same outer date: 31 December of the assessment year, or completion of the assessment, whichever is earlier. Income earned in FY 2025-26 is assessed in AY 2026-27, so that December date is 31 December 2026 if the section still uses it. Confirm the date on the portal before you file.
If that window has closed, an updated return under section 139(8A) may be the form that adds the income. That form is on the updated return page. It cannot reduce the tax already shown or claim a new refund. A defective return under section 139(9) is a different intimation. A revised return is not automatically the response that intimation asks for. That page is the 139(9) page.
After the return is filed, e-verify within 30 days. The return is quoted before it is filed. That quote is on the belated page. The first discussion is free. After processing, read any 143(1) intimation against the return that was filed.
