Revised Income Tax Return:

An individual tax payer need to revise his returns in case if he/she made any mistakes in the original return.

It is another chance given by the Income tax Department to a tax payer to revise the returns without any errors.

Sec 139(5) allows you to revise your returns.

Another reason for filing a revised return is, if a tax payer missed to report any of his income at the time of filing.

You can file a revised ITR multiple times as there is no limit to filing the return.

If the ITR assessment is completed by the assessing officer, then a revised income tax return cannot be filed.

If you have filed the returns after due date, Ex: after July 31^st then, there is no chance to revise your returns.
