i am getting below error while registering ID in IT returns portal.
ERROR:Name enterned is not as per PAN.
Hey ,
When I am trying to get the OTP for e verification it throws an error that your PAN is not linked with adhaar but in profile when i am linking the adhaar it is already linked with my PAN
I am getting error 1 (Both description and suggestion are blank)?!! How fix it.?
How to fix :
Since option No is selected for ‘Are you opting for new tax regime u/s 115BAC?, Amount that can be claimed for category “Self with disability” u/s 80U should be equal to is 75,000
Please help !
Just revisit that section VIA, and delete the 0 amount entry against 80U section
put some amount in that sec—->save it and then delete it
Just logout and login again. Most of the errors will go away.
Logging off and login from a different browser resolved 80U error.
Thanks.
While moving to new regime, we have to fill Form10IE.After all the data fields which are either prefilled or filled by me, it asks me to generate otp for aadhar verification. Once done with the verification, it says “submission failed- invalid input” without giving any reason. Please help.
I found it extremely difficult to file Itr 2, on behalf of my son in law. Unlike the previous portal which was user friendly, the present one is a most useless, unhelpful portal. This present one should be scrapped and replace it with the old one with some modifications if required. Heavy penalty should be levied on the latest software provider.
Error while verification : Since option No is selected for ‘Are you opting for new tax regime u/s 115BAC?, Amount that can be claimed for category “Self with disability” u/s 80U should be equal to is 75,000
Fix: Download json and click on validate the error goes away. why these kind of errors are not fixed by Infy
I resolved this issue by going to the Schedule of Chapter VI-A. In the C-D deductions, uncheck the 80U deduction.
Please change your web browser, login and processed to validate and you would be done. Or if you do not have another browser, logout, clear cache, relogin and try ….
The error continues even now. No help from IT Call centre too
Finally I have finally found a solution for all such problems, don’t keep Text Boxes Blank put value as “0” in all such Text Boxes in the schedules (like 80U, 80DD)
Thank god , this response saved ..
Thank you.. I had exact same issue.
Your suggestion helped and saved my day. Thank you.
Thanks Bheemsen. I lost 2 hours and cursing Govt. Thanks you saved me.
Hi,
I downloaded the json, but where to click on validate error ??
Worked for me. Thanks Akshay
same error , even after trying for second day , today its not logging only may because of huge load on server…
Thanks Bheemsen.. Worked for me instantly
You may have selected “Yes” for any other deductions in the Schedule quiz. (this is where sections 80 U, DD, etc are mentioned). Select “No” in case you are not claiming any of those and the problem will resolve.

Thanks yaar, your suggestion ‘Download json and click on validate the error goes away’, really helped me and I could verify it immediately.
error , Since option No is selected for ‘Are you opting for new tax regime u/s 115BAC?, In Schedule VI-A, assessee has claimed deduction u/s 80DD for dependent person with disability should be equal to Rs.75,000
Same here. Any solution or issue with web portal?
Go to Schedule VI-A. Under 80 DD claim 75000, Save and confirm. Go back to Schedule VI-A and delete 80DD. It worked for me. In fact I had 2 errors 75000 in 80 DD and 75000 under 80U. Did both separately and could proceed to verify and submit returns. Hope it will work for you too.
It Worked for me also
thank you Mr.Govind. Your suggestion worked for me. Initially i was thinking why i have to enter first then delete the same. I dont know the technicality behind it. But it worked for me also. Once again thanks
Thanks, this workaround worked for me.
Thanks Govind. I too had the same error. Your suggestion worked for me.
Yes… this worked for me too. Thanks
Thanks for this help. It worked.
Thank you, Govind. It worked. Entered the section 80DD with the value. Confirmed it. Went back and deleted and confirmed it again. And it allowed me to file the return.
This solution worked for me too.
I was also struggling with these two issues and the given trick worked for me.
Thanks for the suggestion.
This worked. Awesome! Thanks.
Thank you Govind, I also faced the 80U and 80DD errors in after validation successful and before verification in ITR 2.
Manually adding them in VI-A and deleting them again helped to proceed verification without errors. Thank you!
Yes, It worked for me as well. Perfect solution to fix 80DD and 80U section issue. It’s bug which never tested by Infy.
This worked for me. Thanks, I owe you one!
Thanks this works…One can simply select the deduction which is causing error and delete it (if not claimed)
Thanks for your suggestions. This error was bugging me badly. Your trick worked.
Thanks a lot, the WA worked for me too
Yes, it worked. Thank you Govind!
Worked. Thanks alot!
Same issue.. you were able to fix from your end,? pls guide
I was facing error. The column of error was blank. I could not figure out the reason for error. I downloaded the json file and opened in offline filing menu. The error was displayed clearly. Worked on the error and filed the return online. Posting for information and for those who come across similar error.
I am getting the following validation error for online as well as the offline Excel utility ( after uploading )json file. All the sheets of the excel are validated and no errors.
This is in the House property schedule. Even the total share is coming to 100%.
I feel the issue is with the load because of sudden filing retry few times it will go thorugh
When I click on Calculate Tax in Part-b TI TTI, getting error repeatedly that enter amount of tax deducted at source and tax collected at source in income details, where I have entered all. Can some one help. Regards.
I fixed all the errors in ITR 2 (error was in the quarterly breakup of the dividends), the validation is successful but still I am not getting the button to submit.
What could be the issue?
I am getting this error while filing ITR 3 online.

pl help how to resolve problem
“This error is due to the other validation errors listed by others in the conversation. once that is fixed, this error goes away.
To fix the validation errors for 2 items:
1. Sec 80U related error –> go and delete the schedule for 80U in Section VIA. clear cache, temp files, reboot machine and relogin
2. Sec 80DD related error –> go into section VIA, add 80DD schedule with 0 value. Save and confirm. validate and verify –> this worked for me.”
It is showing error “Fixed amount of INR 75000 can be claimed for category ” Dependent with disability” u/s 80DD subject to GTI.” at the time of verification .
There is no validation error.
I was also facing the same issue. Just select deduction u/s 80dd in schedule VI A and leave it zero and confirm. the error will be removed.
Tried selecting “select deduction u/s 80dd in schedule VI A and leave it zero”. But still getting this error. “Since option No is selected for ‘Are you opting for new tax regime u/s 115BAC?, In Schedule VI-A, assessee has claimed deduction u/s 80DD for dependent person with disability should be equal to Rs.75,000”.
FIRST PLEASE ADD AN AMOUNT EXACTLY SIMILAR TO THE AMOUNT OF ERROR BEING SHOWN AGAINST 80DD. SAY THE ERROR CONTAINS RS. 75000 THEN PUT 75000 OR 125000 (IF THE ERROR SHOWS SO) AND SAVE AND VERIFY THE RETURN. IT WILL REMOVE THE ERROR. NOW GO BACK AND DELETE THE 80DD TAB THAT YOU ADDED EARLIER AND SAVE AND CONFIRM SCH VIA AGAIN. ON VERIFICATION THE ERROR WILL BE REMOVED.
This Worked. Thanks.
I can’t see 80 DD under the schedules at all and getting the same error as said above
Thanks DEBLINA NANDI ROY. This is very much helpful and solved the issue.
thanks… it worked… hadd technical jugaad he
Worked like charm
Thanks a lot. It worked
Yes it is working
Then it says taxlaibility more and to be paid as TDS is less
After the error is received. Click on ‘Download JSON’.
Post that the validation error will go away.
Then you can submit return.
Thanks
Thanks a ton for this Jugaad !!!
This worked for me (I tried a lot of add/delete etc. 80-whatever- none of them worked – Finally I tried this download-JSON option and after that, it worked!)
May i know if this is resolved. I am getting the same error even if i haven’t selected anything under 80DD. In fact 80DD itself isn’t shown under schedules even to select
Is this resolved ?
itr2 error
It is showing error “Fixed amount of INR 75000 can be claimed for category ” Dependent with disability” u/s 80DD subject to GTI.” at the time of verification .
There is no validation error.
i have also facing this type of error i have file 3 to 4 time but till same error shown in return
If option No is selected for ‘Are you opting for new tax regime u/s 115BAC?’ and In Schedule VIA, if Resident assessee has claimed deduction u/s 80U for self with disability then amount should be equal to Rs.75,000
Go To Schedule VI-A and Part C, CA and D, if u see 80U delete it and confirm
Then logout and login again then the validation. This worked for me
One more edit, go to the salaries section and check if any entries need to be deleted similar to above. In fact try for all the other schedules. My error was in the salaries section and it was showing the below message along with the above error:
#/ITR/ITR2/ScheduleS/Salaries/0/Salarys: required key [IncomeNotifiedOther89A] not found];#;Please contact the developer of your utility with the error key
i am also face the same issue while file ITR 2. How to fix it. help me. i can verified by Aadhar OTP.
i am also facing the same error. under filing old regime. how to resolve this.
The solution is that you:
1. go to Schedules.
2. Open Schedule VI-A
3. Expand Part C, CA, and D. Here you’ll find an entry “Deduction under section 80USelf with disability” with value 0.
4. Select this entry and click the red Delete button.
5. Click Confirm at the bottom of the page.
6. When you validate you will still get Category B/D defect error but it will allow you to upload and submit the return.
“To fix the validation errors for 2 items:
1. Sec 80U related error –> go and delete the schedule for 80U in Section VIA. clear cache, temp files, reboot machine and relogin
2. Sec 80DD related error –> go into section VIA, add 80DD schedule with 0 value. Save and confirm. validate and verify –> this worked for me.”
