IT portal asking for compulsory inputs

[SachinSingh]

I’m trying to file a return for someone on the Income Tax portal, but it’s asking mandatory reply at two places, even though both aren’t applicable & hadn’t been filled last year as well:

First is the ‘Method of valuation of closing stock employed in the previous year’ under ‘Part A- OI (other information)’. It’s asking to choose an option for ‘Raw Material’ & ‘Finished Goods’.

Second is ‘Schedule : Tax deferred on ESOP’, it’s asking for ‘PAN of the employer being an eligible startup’ & ‘DPIIT registration number of the employer’.

Wondering if anyone has any idea about this. @Quicko @Meher_Smaran

Attaching screenshots. Thanks.

If anyone else is having the same issue in the future, you basically have to deselect some schedules on the LHS. Some are automatically deselected, some aren’t.

However, for me, it hasn’t exactly solved the issue as after deselecting, sometimes it again automatically gets selected, and sometimes it stays deselected only.
