Mistakes happen, but they don't have to be permanent. If you've identified an error in your processed Income Tax Return (ITR), Taxes Genie is here to guide you through a seamless rectification process under Section 154 of the Income Tax Act.
Rectification under Section 154 is applicable for mistakes that are apparent from the record, such as:
Note: If the error involves omission of income or claiming new deductions, a revised return should be filed instead of a rectification request.
Taxpayers: If you identify a mistake in your processed ITR, you can file a rectification request.
Income Tax Authorities: The Assessing Officer (AO) or other tax authorities can also initiate rectification if they find an apparent mistake.
Filing a rectification request is straightforward with Taxes Genie:
Under Section 154, the following orders can be rectified:
Note: If the order is subject to an appeal or revision, only the matters not considered in such proceedings can be rectified.
A rectification request must be filed within four years from the end of the financial year in which the order sought to be rectified was passed.

I'm a freelancer with multiple income sources. Their expert eCA handled everything perfectly and even helped me get a bigger refund than expected. Worth every rupee!

Received a notice under Section 143(1) and had no idea how to respond. Taxes Genie’s team explained everything and filed the correct response on my behalf. Zero stress!
I sold a property and some mutual funds this year. Their capital gains filing service was incredibly detailed. They calculated everything perfectly and made filing so easy.
