How many times a return can be revised

Updated . Every paid answer is checked by a CA. Free AI answers are labelled until a CA verifies them.

There is no fixed limit on the number of revisions within the time allowed. Each revised return replaces the previous one.

Provisions

Sec 139(5), Income-tax Act 1961 (now Sec 263(5), Income-tax Act 2025)

Analysis

Each time, quote the acknowledgement of the original return, as the portal asks, and include all income and deductions. Example: first revision added FD interest; a second one corrects a wrong 80D claim. Too many revisions can draw questions, so check everything carefully before the next one.
