142(1) and 148 relate to returns filed after receiving notice from the Income tax department. 153(a) relates to search cases. 139(1) and 139(4) are voluntary returns filed by the assessee himself before receiving any notice from the department. 139(1) is for voluntary return filed before the due date as requiredunder tha Act. 139(4) is for  delayed voluntary returns. In your case, if you are filing the return voluntarily before the due date, it is 139(1).
