I wrote wrong address in ITR2 form?

Question

I wrote city Pune and state madhya pradesh instead of maharashtra. so after filing my returns, my ITR V also shows the wrong address

is it a major problem ?

Answer 1

Not a big issue, just correct it by applying white eraser / fluid (On your own copy).

As far as the question of you writing wrong name of state in the ITR copy of the department, it also is not a big issue as you have also written PUNE which is correct.

All the best :)

Answer 2

It may not be a major mistake as far as you are neither liable to tax nor eligible for a refund.  In case you claim refund of excess tax paid, refund will be sent to the address on the return of income.  so there will be chances of not getting your refund properly.  If you are liable to tax, penal action may be initiated for producing wrong address as you may not receive the challans, notices and other correspondence about liablity to tax at the wrong address in your return.  So better get your mistake corrected with the authorities by simply writing to them.

Answer 3

See if you are bothered about the wrong address simply upload the return again by correcting the mistake. (I am presuming that you have e-filed your return because only during e-filing ITR V is generated). You must be aware that you need to sign a copy of ITR V and submit it to your ward office within 15 days. Do not submit the wrong copy and submit the correct one with your signature withtin 15 days.

Also it can be a case of revised return filed due to mistake in original return. You can file a revised return because you have filed the return within the due date.

Answer 4

It is not a major problem. Quoting your PAN correctly is very important thing. Nothing to worry about it. If you are much worried u can make a revised return.(But it is not neccesary)

Answer 5

No. as long as your PAN number is correct.

Even if you have a tax refund you should not have any problem as you are required to give your bank information for direct deposit to your account.
