Reply wrong or incomplete: can I correct it

Analysis
File a short further reply: 'In our reply dated 12 October 2026, the interest income was stated as ₹82,000 in error; the correct figure is ₹1,02,000 as per the attached certificate.' Correcting voluntarily helps show there was no intention to misreport. If the correction increases income, pay the extra tax with interest and attach the challan. Waiting for the officer to spot the error is the worse option.
