Overview
What is revised return filing?
A revised return corrects a mistake in an income tax return you have already filed, under section 139(5). For AY 2026-27 it can be filed until 31 March 2027, or before the assessment is completed, whichever is earlier. There is no fee until 31 December 2026. After that, a section 234-I fee applies: ₹1,000 if total income is ₹5 lakh or less, ₹5,000 otherwise. We file revised returns for returns that FilingSetu filed. Our revised return guide explains the rules and the steps.
