Dear Sir,

You have not mentioned whether you have filed return for the period from October 2010 to March 2011 by manual or by electronic mode.   A return may be revised within 90days from the date of filing the return.  If you have not filed the return electronically the return cannot be revised.  However you are advised to approach the authorities in this regard.
