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?
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
STCG is included in total income at a normal rate as well as showing a separate lines for tax at 15% also.
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.
There is no change in STCG tax applicability.
cant update profile, in spite of inputting correct mobile and email otps.

Hi,
Can you please share the solution for this error if you have found one? Thanks
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
There is a error ” Please enter valid bank name while validating ITR 1 , Please give me the guidance.
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
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
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.
Sir, Please remove the account which is either not validated or cannot be validated. Then retry.
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
.
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
Has this been resolved? As I am also getting same error.
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.
Hi. I am facing the same issue. How did you resolve this?
Did you get a solution to the section 10(10) error?
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.
Hi, Is this issue resolved? what was the solution? Pls can you share?
Thanks,

I am trying to file ITR -3 for professional income

Same thing with my itr 2 , for capital gains
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
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.
YOU DOWNLOAD NEW UTILITY AND TRY AGAIN, IT WILL WORK
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

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”

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

Hello Pankaj, you can avoid the error ( i.e. gross receipts/income…) by filing in ITR2.

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