Updated . Every paid answer is checked by a CA. Free AI answers are labelled until a CA verifies them.
Facts
You cannot file another rectification for the same assessment year until CPC acts on the earlier one. A submitted request cannot be withdrawn or edited. Once it is processed, you can file a fresh request if something is still wrong.
Provisions and law
- Sec 154 (now Sec 287)Rectification of mistake apparent from record in an intimation or order
Analysis
Check the status first under Services > Rectification Status using the 15 digit reference number. If the earlier request was wrong, for example you chose Reprocess when you needed Tax Credit Mismatch Correction, wait for the order and then file the correct type. If there is a demand meanwhile, record disagreement under Response to Outstanding Demand so that recovery or refund set off is less likely. If the wait runs past six months, raise a grievance on the portal.
Conclusion
- Open Services > Rectification Status and note the stage
- Mark the demand as disputed with the rectification reference
- After the order arrives, file a fresh request of the correct type
- Raise an e-Nivaran grievance if there is no action for over six months
