You have to file a revised return

[DEV KUMAR KOTHARI]

You must, in any case, write a letter to the A.O. pointing out correct position and request the A.O. to make correction. Because the benefits available to a lady may not be allowed. A revised return can be filed only if the original return was filed u/s 139(1) or in persuance of a notice issued u/s 142 (1), other wise not. Please see S. 139 (5). Therefore , if those conditions are not met, the revised return may be treated as non est.

in my view, the PAN no is important, because it is in name of your female client. you only file a letter to AO stating the facts and it is done.

AI Summary

Correction of assessee gender: write to assessing officer for correction; revised return only permitted in prescribed circumstances.
Notify the assessing officer in writing to correct the gender code and verify PAN/name matching; file a revised return only if the original filing circumstances make revision permissible under the statutory revision rules, otherwise rely on the letter to the assessing officer to effect the correction.
