Understanding and Correcting a Defective ITR (Section 139(9))

Filing your Income Tax Return (ITR) is an essential part of compliance, but what happens when you receive a Defective ITR Notice under Section 139(9) of the Income Tax Act? This notice is issued when there are errors or inconsistencies in the filed return, requiring correction within the specified timeframe to avoid penalties or rejections.

What is a Defective ITR Notice?

A defective ITR notice is sent by the Income Tax Department when the submitted ITR form contains errors or lacks mandatory information. Common reasons include:

  • Missing or incorrect PAN details.
  • Non-disclosure of income sources.
  • Mismatched tax credits (as per Form 26AS).
  • Incomplete annexures or schedules in the ITR form.

Steps to Correct a Defective ITR (139(9)):

  1. Log in to the Income Tax Portal:
    Visit Income Tax E-filing Portal and log in using your PAN credentials.

  2. Access the Defective ITR Notice:

    • Go to the ‘e-Proceedings’ section.
    • Select the defective return notice under the list of pending actions.

  3. Download the XML File:

    • Carefully review the reasons for the defective notice.
    • Download the XML file of the original ITR form for corrections.

  4. Correct the Errors:
    Open the XML file using ITR preparation software or edit directly on the portal. Ensure all discrepancies are resolved.

  5. Submit the Revised ITR:

    • Upload the corrected ITR form (with changes) under the ‘Response to Defective Notice’ section.
    • Verify the submission using Aadhaar OTP, EVC, or DSC.

  6. Acknowledgment:
    Once submitted, an acknowledgment will be generated, confirming your compliance with the notice.
