I have filed ITR-2 for 2019-20. It went smoothly. Unfortunately, I realized I missed an entry from my previous employer. So I tried to submit revised ITR-2. I generated the xml without any error, but while uploading, I am getting this error. Invalid content was found starting wirh element ‘ITRForm:DeductionUs54F’. One of ‘{“http://incometaxindiafiling.gov.in/master”.ExemptionOrDednUs54}’ is expected. I tried to re-enter all data in clean new excel to create new XML. Also tried different browsers after clearing all data. Nothing helped. Any Idea on how to resolve it?
Even if at last date is extended on 30 Sept. then the purpose is not fulfilled, because work is started in hurried way and from 28 and 29th sept site will be busy, may be crashed again. Govt should consider the reason, why various PIL filed in states all over India.
In case of online filing government get 100%work done from consultants but couldn’t release forms intime. It is too much !!
Over & above this, There are also hiccups in following :
1. New digital sign with aadhar link
2. Issues of Java Version , Computer Security level , Internet Browser alternatives, etc.
Due to all this our half of the day is now lost in solving errors arising due to all this.
But alas ! who is there to understsnd this practical issues.
This is Govt. of the beaurocrats, by the beaurocrats.
Thanks a ton for the updates TEAM” TAX GURU provides…..!! very very professional…. i am very grateful
The Government has changed but the bureaucrat are the same and functioning in the same autocratic way – what cbdt can do is ampally clear from back log in i t dept. cbdt can issue instruction/ circulars but can not get work done from people under .its unbelievevable that after paying such a high salary/ perquisites/ increments/pay commissions / etc it find poor chartered accountants to complete the job within specified time even after all these updatios.high courts is also thinking in same fashion is again a matter of concern
FM and CBDT will do the extension for sure. They will do it at last moment. Otherwise Government wont get the tax collection by september15
“Of late IT dept and Finance ministry is doing all sort of non sense and undue hardship to assesses and the auditors”. “nonsense” is too srong a word. This may be for assessees having compllicated problems. for simple IT mreturns there is no problem.
The Baboos and Politicians are said to be SERVANTS OF PEOPLE of this country. But both are making life miserable for those who are law complaint. Similarly it is the duty of the assessee to employ proper staff and prepare their books of accounts and submit them well in time for audit and filing of IT returns. But they are not doing it and in the last week of SEPTEMBER they turn up to the CA offices for completing the formalities. Every year this is the practice. I WILL STRAIGHT BLAME THE CA s for this. They are not ready to tell that it is not OUR head ache. They exploit the articles and paid staff by asking them to work for 24 hrs to met the dead line. CAs should accept work in proportion to the staff they engage . Several of them are dependent on part time accountants and tax consultants and are afraid of telling them the facts and asking for decent remuneration. This was the creation of the Old 3 CB Form which lot of CAs were simply putting NIL/NA and giving attestation .
Well Done Tax Guru Team…..
Govt ought to understand the CHANGES are not expected at the last week of due dates towards submission of the Tax Audit Reports….
New Section 194DA has been added in clause 34(a) under Form no. 3 CD on 24-09-2015….
THIS IS NOT DONE….
my wealth tax xmls are not uploading and they are not showing error; now I understand my utility was downloaded before 5 september 2015.
Thanks for the valuable update TAXGURU!
The mockery part from CBDT in case of change of version is very good. You cannot ascertain whether there is any change in version or not than from the version one has prepared the xml for uploading.
It is only when one downloads the zip file and unzip the utility one can know whether there is any change in version or not.
Further, one is in blank what changes they have made in the software from the previous version. One need to recheck the entire tax audit report as well as ITR in the new version.
Very good work is being carried on by our beloved CBDT. Keep it up.
It tis frustrating when we depend upon IT software.May be these details could be placed before various High Courts when they come up for final hearing on the WP filed .Till 28’th 29 th we have to keep our fingers crossed .
sir the words are not sufficient to express my gratitude for TAX GURU for the services in specially INCOME TAX.Mr CA Sandeep Kanoi a really CA who is working all the 24 hours for the betterment of the profession and keeping very high values for the reporting of the facts and problems of the tax professionals.Your above artical is an eye opener for the department and all the persons who are fighting for the extension of the time for filing Tax audit reports. THANKS YOU ONCE AGAIN TO THE ENTIRE GROUP OF TAX GURU.
Time not Extend and modifications make upto 24.09.2015.
This is Make in, Digital and Clean.
Of late IT dept and Finance ministry is doing all sort of non sense and undue hardship to assesses and the auditors
This is at the peak . they keep on changing till 30 th sep and yet they expect you to file all the returns
Everybody expected when modi government assumed office, it will be hassle free in all the tax compliances
Now it has become further worser
The Unmatched Service Rendered by Tax Guru team of professionals are commendable! Thanking you all and Congratulations for your valuable service to CAs and Cs and other Advocates and Tax consultants , I also specifically than MR. CA Sandeep Kanoi for his untiring work !
