Provisions
Sec 139(5), Income-tax Act 1961 (now Sec 263(5), Income-tax Act 2025); Sec 234B, Income-tax Act 1961 (now Sec 424, Income-tax Act 2025); Sec 234C, Income-tax Act 1961 (now Sec 425, Income-tax Act 2025)
Analysis
Example: revision adds ₹1 lakh of freelance income, tax up by ₹31,200. Interest under Sec 234B (now Sec 424) runs from 1 April 2026 to the payment month on the shortfall of advance tax. Pay the tax and interest, enter the challan in the return and then file. Filing with tax unpaid makes the revised return defective.
