Filing an updated return that includes the missed AIS income is the usual fix after a mismatch message for older years. You can then respond to the campaign quoting the ITR-U acknowledgement.

Provisions

Sec 139(8A), Income-tax Act 1961 (now Sec 263(6), Income-tax Act 2025); Sec 285BB, Income-tax Act 1961 (now Sec 510, Income-tax Act 2025)

Analysis

File ITR-U before a formal notice arrives, because once assessment starts the route closes. Include all items, not just the one flagged. Then respond on the Compliance Portal. This usually stops further action on that item.
