Made a typo in Form 10IEA acknowledgment number on ITR-3. Should I file a revised return?

Hey everyone,

I recently submitted and e-verified my ITR-3 for this assessment year. However, right after e-verifying, I noticed a mistake in the schedule where we mention details about Form 10IEA (for opting into the New Tax Regime). I accidentally entered the wrong last digit of the 10IEA acknowledgment number. The actual Form 10IEA was filed correctly beforehand with the right details.

The portal didn’t flag it while validating, and the error only caught my eye on the final submission receipt.

Since the ITR is already e-verified, should I immediately file a revised return to correct the acknowledgment number, or will the system process it fine since the form is already linked to my PAN? Has anyone dealt with this specific mismatch before?

Appreciate any advice from CAs or anyone who has faced a similar issue!

Isn’t new tax regime the default?

Had previously submitted this Form 10 IEA to exit and then re-enter the new tax regime (for the previous AY). As part of the current ITR - we need to submit details of these filled forms - that is where I made the mistake of making a typo in the acknowledgment number.

I don’t see any problem with filing a revised return but I’m not CA. @Quicko can help
