    1. In the IT portal i am trying to file the income tax return for AY22-23.
      It goes up to the view pls validate the prefilled return where the personal information is only allowed to be edited and seen .Rest of the fields are greyed out..e.g Gross Total income , total deductions.I have even confirmed the Personal information section .I am trying to file the return since 23jun22.

      1. Even i had the same issue. Provided all information in the Second sTep ( Gross Annual Income) but it didnt show as Green. The values submitted were matching the Form-16 as well. I was using the Google Chrome Browser.

      What should I do ? please suggest me.

      1. I am also facing the same issue. I have raised a complaint and they have asked to send an email to efilingwebmanager@incometax.gov.in with error screenshot and pancard copy in a zip file. And this is the response I got from them.

        Resolution: “With respect to the concern raised by you, kindly retry now with the latest Offline json utility from the e-Filing portal http://www.incometax.gov.in You’re requested to start “”Fresh filing”” of the ITR form instead of resume filing of the saved Draft.If issue persists, kindly attach and share the following details at efilingwebmanager@incometax.gov.in • PAN & Contact Details • Download JSON file • Error screen shot Note: Kindly attach the documents in ZIP (.zip) format only, otherwise your request will not be processed.”

        I even tried the offline JSON Utility but ended up with same error as in online portal. I have sent an email about this also. But there after no response from them.

        I think the new portal is with full of bugs that they need to fix them all asap.

        BTB if you are able to solve this issue, please do let me know at : athularjunan@gmail.com

        Thanks,
        Athul

        One can only proceed only when sec 139(4) circle gets activated
        But HOW…. any idea
        Thanks
        buro

        1. Download the latest offline filing utility and select 139(4) first time itself while filling in the form . Was not able to select 139(4) in the online filing

          1. Hi All, you can also do a new online filing and select 139(4) first time itself while filling in the new online form.It works as well.

      3. I too got the same error while filing ITR-1 for my wife. But after selection filling after due date it is getting submitted to IT without any fine. The IT department is not al all responding

    13. This is the first time I will be filing ITR.
      But as a non-resident, I am unable to register my PAN on the new website.
      My mobile number is from out of India. And as a non-resident, I should be able to register myself with the OTP received in my e-mail only.
      But the website does not let me register without OTP received on mobile, which a person with mobile number out of India does not receive.
      Have been contacting help desk since almost a week. First I was told to email webservicemanager,which I did. Then after 2 days, help desk rep took my information and said she will submit the request to solve the problem. It has been 3 days already, but I still cannot register my PAN on the new website

    14. I am facing problem in filling HRA on portal and utility both. Its not allowing to enter HRA amount, I am getting this error “Exemption of HRA u/s 10(13A) shall not be more than minimum of HRA received or 50% of (Basic + DA)” when even try to fill even Re.1 in section. Due to which I am getting tax liability and advance tax due penalty and not able to complete ITR filing.
      I discussed whit CA and Income Tax Customer Care they are saying other people also facing similar issue. The thing is what will happen if we are not able to fill it on time 🙁
      Any other person getting this error ?

        1. Hey Amit,
          Apology for late reply, I am seeing your message just now.
          No it was not resolved immediately, I got mail from CPC ITR team today for its resolution. But still I am not sure if its resolved or not.

          I paid to CA to file via his software, then I checked json and found that software break my basic salary into two heads one as basic and other as HRA head (with value higher than actual HRA) and then it allowed to add HRA value as well. Also that higher value required thing was also an issue because after 2-3 hours of filing I tried, it allowed to enter same value in HRA salary head and allowing same value in HRA allowance.

          I hope you were able to file on time.

      1. Even i am facing the same issue. Not able to declare HRA amount, getting the same error as yours.
        Were you able to solve it.
