Updated . Every paid answer is checked by a CA. Free AI answers are labelled until a CA verifies them.
Facts
The portal lets you file Form 10E for an assessment year; if a correction is needed, you can generally file a fresh Form 10E with the right figures. The ITR relief should match the latest Form 10E.
Provisions and law
- Sec 89 (now Sec 157)Relief when salary or family pension is received in arrears or in advance
- Rule 21A, Income-tax Rules 1962Manner of computing Sec 89 relief and Form 10E
Analysis
If you entered the wrong year's income and relief came to ₹30,000 instead of ₹12,000, file a corrected Form 10E. If the ITR already claimed ₹30,000, revise the ITR within the time allowed to ₹12,000, or expect CPC to adjust. Check the portal for the option to file a revised Form 10E before starting.
Conclusion
- Identify the error in the filed Form 10E
- File a corrected Form 10E if the portal allows
- Revise the ITR if the relief figure changes
- Keep both acknowledgements
Check on the portal whether a revised Form 10E is allowed for your assessment year before relying on this.
