Q.1 What is rectification?

Ans. Rectification is an option given to you by the Income Tax Department for correcting a mistake apparent from record in your Income Tax Return. You need to submit a rectification request if there is any mistake apparent from record in your tax return notified to you in an intimation issued u/s 143(1) by the CPC or an order passed u/s 154 by your AO. A rectification request can be submitted only for returns that are already processed by CPC.

Q.2 My previously filed rectification request is yet to be processed. Can I submit or file another rectification request for the same request type?

Ans. No. You cannot submit a rectification request for an Assessment Year and a CPC Order Number unless previously filed rectification request for the same combination has been processed.

Q.3 Can I withdraw a rectification request submitted by me?

Ans.No. You cannot withdraw a rectification request already submitted. A rectification request once submitted will be closed only after a Rectification Order is passed.

Q. 4 Where can I find my rectification reference number?

Ans. Once you have submitted your rectification request, you will receive a mail or a message notifying you of your 15-digit rectification reference number. You can also find your 15-digit rectification number under Rectification Status after logging in to your e-Filing account.

In case the rectification request has already been filed by you and the rectification request has been transferred to AO the same will be taken up for disposal by the AO on his own. If need be the AO may also seek some clarifications from you. However, if you find a delay you may contact your AO for resolution.
