What Is a Revised ITR for A.Y. 2026-27?
A Revised Income Tax Return is a corrected version of a return you have already filed for Assessment Year 2026-27 (Financial Year 2025-26). It is filed under Section 139(5) of the Income Tax Act when a taxpayer discovers an omission or a wrong statement in the original or belated return — such as unreported income, an incorrect deduction, wrong bank details, or the wrong ITR form.
A revised return completely replaces the original return once it is submitted and e-verified. There is no restriction on the number of times a return can be revised within the permitted window, as long as each revision is filed and verified before the deadline or before the assessment is completed, whichever happens first.
When You Should File a Revised Return
- You forgot to report interest, rental, or freelance income
- You claimed the wrong deductions or missed eligible ones
- You filed the wrong ITR form for your income type
- You entered incorrect bank account or TDS details
- Form 26AS/AIS shows income you had not included
Who Can File a Revised Return
- Any taxpayer who filed the original return within the due date
- Taxpayers who filed a belated return under Section 139(4)
- Salaried individuals, freelancers, and small business owners
- Proprietors — see our Income Tax Return filing for Sole Proprietorship guide
Revised ITR Filing Deadline for A.Y. 2026-27
The last date to file a Revised Return under Section 139(5) for A.Y. 2026-27 is 31st March 2027, or before the completion of assessment, whichever is earlier. This is an extension from the earlier 31st December cut-off. Revisions filed after 31st December 2026 may attract an additional fee, so it is best to correct errors as early as possible.
| Return Type | Applicable Section | Last Date for A.Y. 2026-27 |
|---|---|---|
| Belated Return | Section 139(4) | 31 December 2026 |
| Revised Return | Section 139(5) | 31 March 2027 |
| Updated Return (ITR-U) | Section 139(8A) | 31 March 2031 |
Deadlines are based on current Income Tax Department guidance and Budget 2026 announcements and are subject to change by CBDT notification. Please verify the latest date on the official e-filing portal or confirm with our tax team before filing.

Frequently Asked Questions on Revised ITR Filing for A.Y. 2026-27
What is the last date to file a Revised ITR for A.Y. 2026-27?
The last date to file a revised return under Section 139(5) for A.Y. 2026-27 is 31st March 2027, or before the completion of assessment, whichever is earlier.
Can I file a revised return more than once?
Yes, a return can be revised multiple times within the permitted window, as long as each revised return is filed and e-verified before the deadline or before assessment is completed.
Is there a penalty for filing a Revised ITR?
There is generally no penalty for filing within the revision window, but a fee may apply if the revised return is filed after 31st December of the assessment year. Please confirm the current applicable fee with our tax team or on the e-filing portal.
Can I file a revised return after my original ITR has been processed?
Yes, processing of the original return does not stop you from filing a revised return, as long as the assessment has not been completed and the deadline has not passed.
What is the difference between a Revised Return and an Updated Return (ITR-U)?
A Revised Return under Section 139(5) can correct errors and even reduce tax liability, while an Updated Return under Section 139(8A) is filed after the revision window closes and can only be used to report additional income, not to reduce tax already paid.
Do I need my original ITR acknowledgement number to file a revision?
Yes, you must provide the acknowledgement number and filing date of the original or belated return while filing the revised return.
What happens if I do not e-verify my revised return?
A revised return that is not e-verified within the prescribed time is treated as not filed, and the original return remains on record with its errors uncorrected.
Can a revised return increase my tax refund?
Yes, if the correction relates to an eligible deduction or excess tax paid that was missed in the original return, the revised return can result in a higher refund.
I also missed filing ITR for earlier years — can that be corrected too?
Yes, pending returns for earlier financial years can be filed separately through our back-year Income Tax Return Filing service, which covers filings for up to the last 5 years.
How do I get started with filing my Revised ITR?
