Income Tax return filing process requires lot of perfection and concentration, and hence chances of making mistake is highest. 

As the deadline to file ITR is just 10 days away, the taxpayers must have filed it by now. After you have submitted the form and later you realised there is a mistake, then do not panic. 

Once the income tax returns have been processed by the tax department, the taxpayer can make changes by filing a rectification request under Section 154(1).

Three of the common mistakes can be rectified by filing request under Section 154 (1). The following errors can be rectified by filing this request:

  • Factual errors like incorrect gender
  • Arithmetic mistakes in tax computation
  • Additional details of capital gains not submitted

Another case could be what if you there is a change in taxable income. In such cases filing a rectification request will not be enough.
