Withdrawing a Form 10-IEA filed by mistake

Find

A filed Form 10-IEA cannot be revised or withdrawn in the same year. The old regime choice then applies for that year. Next year you can use your one re-entry to come back to the new regime.

Provisions

Sec 115BAC (now Sec 202); Sec 115BAC (now Sec 202)

Analysis

FAQ 18 says revision is not allowed and a filed form cannot be withdrawn in the same year. So for AY 2026-27 you are in the old regime, and your tax is computed with old regime slabs and deductions. You can file a re-entry form in a later year, but that uses your single withdrawal. Think through the long term before filing any regime form.

Close

  1. Accept the old regime for the current year.
  2. Compute tax with old regime slabs and deductions.
  3. Decide whether to re-enter next year.
  4. If so, file the re-entry form by that year's due date.
