Short answerIf you spot a mistake after filing, file a revised return under Section 139(5) — you can revise up to 31 December of the assessment year (or before assessment is completed). It replaces your original return, and there’s no fee just to revise.

How to revise

On the e-filing portal, choose ‘revised return’, quote your original acknowledgement number, correct the entries and re-submit. Then e-verify the revised return.

Deadline

Up to 31 December of the assessment year, or before your return is assessed — whichever is earlier.
