Revised Return Filing.
If you find an omission or a wrong figure in a return already filed, a revised return replaces it. After the Finance Act, 2026, a return can be revised up to twelve months after the end of the year, or before assessment is completed if earlier (section 139(5) of the 1961 Act; section 263(5) of the 2025 Act), with a fee if filed after nine months. We find the errors and file the correction.
Typically 2–5 working days once documents are in hand; the nature of the error and whether additional tax must be paid drive the time.
A partner — a chartered accountant or company secretary — from the first call to sign-off.
Based on your situation, and fixed in writing before any work starts.

Revised Return Filing, step by step.
Typically 2–5 working days once documents are in hand; the nature of the error and whether additional tax must be paid drive the time.
- 1
Review the original
We compare the filed return with Form 26AS, AIS and your documents to find every error, not only the one you noticed.
- 2
Choose the route
We confirm whether a revised return, a rectification request or an updated return is the right tool for the error and its timing.
- 3
Recompute tax
We recompute income and tax, and work out any additional tax and interest to be paid before filing.
- 4
File and verify
We file the revised return quoting the original acknowledgement number and date, and complete e-verification.
- 5
Track processing
We follow the revised return through processing, since the latest valid return is the one the department processes.
What we need from you.
Don't have everything yet? We send a short checklist after the first call and work with what you have.
- Acknowledgement and copy of the original return
- Documents supporting the corrected items
- Form 26AS and AIS for the year
- Any intimation or communication already received
- Challans for any additional tax paid
The fee depends on your situation. After a short call, the partner who will do the work tells you what's involved and gives you a fixed fee in writing — before any work begins.
- Government fees and statutory charges are billed at actuals.
- When you pay — upfront, in stages or on completion — is agreed in writing with the fee.
