Comment on Notice under Section 139(9)? - Possible reason

Dear Zerodha Team,

Thanks to the informative post on this useful topic, and am filing the rectified return today as it’s the last day for me under the 15 day time limit and need one urgent clarification please.

could you please give your opinion whether we should file the rectified return as a ‘Revised’ return or ‘Original’ return? I called up CPC helpline and they said it should be filed as ‘Revised’ return, but when I select the ‘Revised’ return option under section 139(9) in the ITR4 excel utility, it pops up a message that return Type cannot be ‘Revised’ unless it’s filed under section 139(5). However,it still allows me to select the return type as ‘Revised’ if I ignore the message.

Please suggest whether filing it as ‘Revised’ return is correct.

Thanks in advance!
KRS
