   Facts

   The rectification FAQ allows Return Data Correction to fix entries such as income reported under the wrong head. The online version lets you edit schedules on the portal; the offline version takes a JSON from the utility. You still cannot add new or bigger deduction claims through it.

2. P

   Provisions and law

   • Sec 154 (now Sec 287)Rectification of mistake apparent from record in an intimation or order
   • Sec 143(1) (now Sec 270(1))Processing of the return and intimation
3. A

   Analysis

   Use this where the total is right but the head is wrong and it changes tax or set off. If ₹60,000 of FD interest went into salary, the salary standard deduction and income totals look off and 80TTA or 80TTB checks may fail. Moving it to Other Sources keeps total income the same but corrects the computation. If the change also needs a new claim, file a revised return while the window is open instead.

   4. 4Submit, e-verify and keep the acknowledgement
