    Common ITR Issues Faced by Taxpayers in FY 2024-25

    • Error 1: The income tax portal has been issuing an error for the past few days, making it impossible to download the AIS and TIS Data. According to the given challenges in the ITR filing, it would be mindful to think about extending the additional deadline by 2 to 3 weeks. The lack of these important records significantly complicates the tax filing process. Here is the error below –

    1. From 23rd Aug 2021, STCG is being taxed at normal rate of tax for the individual instead of 15%. Is there any change in tax laws or a new bug created in the efiling portal during rectifications?

      1. I am also facing the same issue. STCG under 111A is filled correctly but the total gain is taxed at normal rate instead of 15%
        Hope this is bug and not yet resolved. Any feedback will be helpful.
        Thanks

        1. I know I am replying late. I also faced the same problem today and after trying to find solution for it, finally found that it is because I had not selected the Schedule SI (this is the one that calculates tax at special rates) as part of the schedules. The moment I selected it, the amount of short term capital gain showed in the tax calculation page as amount included in the total income which will be taxed at special rate.

    2. Receiving This Error in ITR2

      Sum of income u/s 111A or section 115AD(1)(ii)- Proviso (STCG on shares/equity oriented MF on which STT paid) & Pass-Through Income in the nature of Short Term Capital Gain chargeable @ 15% in schedule SI should be equal to corresponding income as per schedule BFLA

      1. Sir, I am also getting the same error in my father’s form. if you get solution to this, please let me also know.
        Regards,
        Raj Pandey

    3. I validated my itr for AY 2021-22 but while verifying it shows one error saying under head CG subhead E the Ex is not the same as
      i – ix. But I found that under subhead E there is no row ‘x’ but instead ix is repeated twice. For row x also it is written as ix. So an error. Any solution

    4. There is a error ” Please enter valid bank name while validating ITR 1 , Please give me the guidance.

      1. Im also facing same issue – ” Please enter valid bank name” while validating ITR 1.
        I was thinking of deleting two banks out of 4 banks as two of them has been validated and other two status is Validation in progress. So if I delete the two banks then will it be considered wrongly or I can go ahead with only two banks which have been validated. Otherwise I’m stuck and unable to submit ITR return. Kindly advise

      2. I am also getting the same error as Mr Kale. I have two banks which are cooperative banks for which valid IFSC and account no.s are inputted. Requested for help. Regards

        1. Sir, Firstly Co-Operative banks cannot be validated, so kindly add any other nationatised bank or private bank for validation. And you need to remove the bank account which cannot be validated. And you need to revalidate the bank accounts after changing the mobile number or email as provided in bank by changing in profile details.

      3. Pre filled Form. My profile for Bank account shows a false account. It shows a Bank account with Bhilwara branch of a Bank, which I neither ever had nor mentioned in any Return filed till now. The last four digits displayed for this false account are same as the last four digits of my account with aKolkata branch of same Bank. The false account is shown as validated. It is not getting removed. Kindly advise
        .

    5. I completed ITR2 for assessment year 2021-22 and validation was successful. When I
      tried to file the return for verification I get error message “SCHEDULE CG sl No. Ex is not
      equal to the difference i – ix . I presume this error occurs because the return preparation
      software is not fully compliant with data quality requirement. I downloaded only
      return preparation software developed by Income tax dept. Please help in this regard

    6. Getting a validation error. Category of defect A :You will not be allowed to upload the return. Kindly correct below errors in order to proceed further.
      Error Description
      1. Exemption u/s 10(10) for gratuity shall not exceed income offered under the head salary under sub head gratuity receipt and cannot exceed R20 lakhs
      Suggestion – Enter Rs. 20,00,000 in the field “Sec 10(10)-Death-cum-retirement gratuity received.

      I have entered the amounts as per Form-16. Gratuity amount is less than salary and less than 20 Lakhs.
      Not sure what is wrong. No error until last step and then I get a validation error.
      Very poor software.

          1. No. I raised a grievance. The response was that I should download the new utility and refill the forms or start a new online form. I tried everything that was suggested. Nothing works. Frustrated. Thinking of going to a CA who might have a solution. Looks like a coding error. Instead of disallowing amounts greater than 20 lakhs, it is disallowing amounts lower than 20L. So much for simplification.

    7. I am trying to file ITR -3 for professional income
      return is validated properly but the verification stage is giving errors

      I have tried to rectify it for 50 times but still, system is not allowing to file

      1. Sir,
        I am facing the problem mentioned in point number7.During ITR returns validation , unable to enter the name when self is chosen.Kindly let me know the solution for this.
        Thank you

      2. I am also facing issues in ITR3. somehow, it has decided that i am eligible for AMT (actually I am not as there is no relevant deductions) so giving error not matching AMT and deemed income. Irony is that AMT schedule is disabled for me. Also, it is asking me to fill ESR with zero, but if I fill zero, ESR is not saved showing me again error of ESR not filled. Total junk site as grievances are raised for last 10 days, but nobody bothered to look into. Sad affairs from Infosys and not being tracjed by our FM team. Really sad.

    8. Am trying to e-verify my ITR Form-1 for AY2021-22 using OTP linked to Aadhar card on new portal. It gives me error PAN not linked to Aadhar. When i try to link, it says already linked. As this is already linked, I have double checked that.

      So this like a circle, first it says link PAN & Aadhar and then it says already linked. Due to this issue, am not able to e-verify the returns and not able to submit. Please advise what to do.

      Sincerely,
      Rakesh Gupta

    9. While validating my ITR II return for A.Y.2021-22 error( Please enter the Bank name) appears. I have already given my Bank account particulars while submitting the return for validation and I am getting an error !validation cannot be done! Please help me in this regard.

      1. U CLICK ON ERROR IT WILL TAKE TO BANK ACCOUNT PARTICULAR, THERE IS A BUTTON IF YOU WILL CLICK ON THE BUTTON THEN THE ERROR WILL BE FREE

      2. In my online itr2 the prefilled values are showing 0 and no option to edit when I click on confirmstion. Also not getting any schedule to fill shares details.

    10. Sir,
      I am trying to file ITR3 using latest release dated 04.08.21. of the Common Utility. All the schedules are filled and return validated with no errors. But after e-verification with aadhar OTP when we press SUBMIT we get the message “SCHEMA ERROR OCCURRED WHILE SUBMITTING YOUR RETURN, PLEASE TRY LATER”
      I have been trying for two days now. Any help would be appreciated.
      Thanks

      1. Old portal should be restored and new kept in waiting till streamlined and tested. Govt is harassing honest taxpayers.

        1. nothing is working. I have just downloaded the new utility at 8 PM on 18.08.2021 but after verification ITR2, Schema error is still coming. New Income Tax Software is a great joke.

    11. Schedule Capital Gains — Land or Building or Both —
      The details filled up for property sell are not visible after saving.
      Can not update or modify these details. Is others have tried this option.

    12. Unable to verify return for last two day, Tried Netbanking but it just kept rotating. The tried OTP method but it just kept saying invalid PIN, which was same as I received in SMS.

      New ITR portal

    13. I am finding the same problem that “Enter bank name” though I have entered many times and validated. errors repeats. can anyone help

    14. I am trying to file the return since last 2-3 days, Every time after validation I got the message Validation successful without any error. Further proceeding for e – verification after the file is not being submitted and it comes out with an error message.

      1. Even I am facing the same issue.
        The gross receipts/income, on which tax has been deducted, are to be entered in the schedules under the respective heads of income, as they are assessable in the year in which the credit for the TDS is being claimed.

        1. Hello, have you got any solution for this? I am also facing the same error(i.e. The gross receipts/income on which tax has been deducted are to be entered in the schedules under the respective heads of income as they are assessable in the year in which the credit for TDS is claimed). can anyone please resolve the issue

        1. Kavya, what they suggested you to do – how the problem is resolved?
          Kindly elaborate because i am facing same issue

          1. kavya, please tell the resolution they specified in your grievance for the validation error. I am facing same issue even now

    15. Error in validation Enter bank name. Last seven days. Customer care not picking up phone

      same issue here. after every attempt for validation, same error message in two rows appearing – please enter the bank name but on clicking the same it leads to bank account section where already bank details are provided. Wasted nearly 4-5 hrs time in attempting to file ITR-2 but at the end this problem is faced

      1. I am facing the below issue:
        The gross receipts/income, on which tax has been deducted, are to be entered in the schedules under the respective heads of income, as they are assessable in the year in which the credit for the TDS is being claimed.

        and
        Name mismatch between PAN and the return. Raise an issue on the grievance portal but still no reply.
        Can you tell me how did you rectify?

    16. I am struggling to upload the ITR. The validation is successful, but when it is uploaded, it comes out with following error. I have tried atleaat 10 times now

      The gross receipts/income, on which tax has been deducted, are to be entered in the schedules under the respective heads of income, as they are assessable in the year in which the credit for the TDS is being claimed

    17. Most horrible website. Infosys and Finance department have messed up a smooth running portal by claiming to make the process better

      Repeated validation errors in Bank name , inspite of the fact that nothing was wrong on the same and TDS schedule is the worst. Real conjob by Infosys on the tax payers and I am a CA who has been filing returns for several years and helping oit several people in filing returns

      Teerible

      1. Yes.. old interface was good… this interface is pathetic and have login issues…
        Also take lot of time for verification…
