After successful validation of ITR 2 the verification shows Error:
Gratuity amount re enter under Sec10(10).
Even after re entry the error persists.
Hi Saji,
Same issue here. Have raised grievance. Received a standard reply saying trying filling fresh online form or new offline utility. Tried everything. Error persists. Have you found a solution?
Only thing I can think of is to not report the Gratuity. Anyway, there is not tax implication if less than 20 lakh.
Regards,
Arun
Same error related to Sec 10(10). No resolution yet despite repeated grievance’s with efiling manager as well as income tax grievances portal.
If there is a resolution, pls post.
thanks
I received an email that my grievance was resolved to which I sent a strongly worded email stating that the grievance has NOT been resolved and that they should not close the ticket. After that I received a call from CPC Bangalore stating that they will organize a webex call with the relevant team who will guide me. 5 days since then and I am still waiting. Keep raising grievances and keep mailing them. Lets get this issue up in the list of bugs to fix. That’s the only way!
Exemption u/s 10(10) for gratuity shall not exceed income offered under the head salary under sub head gratuity receipt and cannot exceed Rs20 lakhs
Exactly facing the same error.
Even after splitting up the ‘Nature of Salary’ to have Gratuity reflect the value, it is not allowing the same value in exempt allowance and throwing the above error.
keep emailing error to efilingwebmanager@incometax.gov.in
how did you over come this?can you help me please? i have tried 100 time s already
I was able to add the gratuity exemption under “Any other” and description as under section 10(10) gratuity
One thing the utility had to be completely closed and reopened for this to work. Otherwise even after this change it was giving the same error.
Reason was the earlier error was not opening up the link directly when clicked and so any modification still gave the same error.
This is definitely a bug that needs to be fixed and have raised grievance also.
Thanks, that worked! Looks like as part of the resolution, they added Gratuity and some other categories of income (Leave Encashment) in the Salary break-up dropdown. Providing the break-up using “Add Another” ensured the rectification of validation error.
I also faced the same problem but as you mentioned. Yesterday mailed to IT department efiling mail ID but not receive any response and today also called to the helpline and raised the ticket for the same and they told me that I will get the response within 24 to 48 hours.
Thank You for the solution which you had posted & it worked. Removed the gratuity field and added the same in “Any Other” option under section 10(10) exemption with the same description I had provided in “any other” field.
Thank you again for the solution.
Thanks this worked for me also. Essentially the deductions under section 10 like gratuity, leave encashment etc. should be provided under the salary breakup by adding “Add Another” section. But its a bug nonetheless.
Thank you Rajesh… your post helped me file my ITR2.
Namaskar! For me the issue is the ITR2 form shows ZERO salary, ZERO income from other sources. If I try to put in the salary as per Form 16, the ITR2 utility does not allow me to edit the salary. I raised Grievance on 4 August and again I reported on 11 Nov. I also sent email to efilingwebmanager@incometax.gov.in. No resolution so far. Anybody facing this kind of issue?
Hello- Were you able to resolve this error ? I am facing the same error !
It was never resolved, so I filled it manually. It took me a long time to fill in manually every field of the ITR2 form.
Missed seeing this message, replying really late. Hope it was better for you, i.e., got a solution.
