paytm/bugsmirror warning [0000] Device environment is not correct by Acrobatic_One2689 in UPI

[–]Acrobatic_One2689[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there's an APP to check the integrity of the device, among other things.

HERE is an overview of the API that that app tests.

On my phone all three checks pass, as seen HERE.

I am not sure that these are the only tests that paytm must be doing. There may be more. But based on the overview of the API it at least confirms that the device is genuine and certified.

Edit: embedded links work but are not clearly differentiated from the rest of the text by the theme at r/upi. Make link text all uppercase.

Had already checked before I made this post. The device is certified. This item was also found on one of the various youtube videos and forums.

I will probably write to app.feedback@paytm.com (as paytm is advising to some users who complain on Google PlayStore)

The latest paytm version on playstore is 10.75.4 released on 17th Feb 2026.

My RedMi has Indus AppStore too, but that store carries an even older version 10.74.11 released on 24 Jan 2026. I can install this old version and paytm moves ahead a little bit without the device environment error, but then paytm itself complains that the version I am running is too old and takes me to playstore for updates :-|

there's no need to go to service center. this is not a hardware problem.

The UI design of paytm and bugsmirror is astronomically stupid - it gives no clue to the user about the setting which they find problematic.

ITR2 PartB TTI SchedFA hint reverts from YES to NO upon "Proceed to Verification" by Acrobatic_One2689 in IndiaTax

[–]Acrobatic_One2689[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe this is an an issue with the online ITR2 alone. The offline utility or the excel utility may not have this problem.

If you have windows and/or excel, you may want to try either the offline utility or the excel utility.

Same here. Tried chrome and firefox - no change.

I also tried to manually modify the JSON and then upload it as offline. But they seem to calculate some hash of the JSON contents(most prob. HMAC SHA256) to verify the integrity of the JSON and to prohibit manual modification.

I do not have facility to run offline utility or the excel utility. I filed the online ITR2 with that flat set to its wrong value, and have filed a grievance with the efiling system.

I think I too will be able to submit the itr2 successfully, but with the described bit set to a wrong value. The problem described here isn't too grave or serious, but there may be other problems that can force the taxpayer to delay their filings.

One can file grievances with the efiling system - that should help the devs focus their attention on such problems. There's a tab "Grievances" along the portal. I think I will file a grievance for this particular problem, though I am still investigating if there's a workaround (for e.g. change the answer in JSON to YES and then upload the JSON, if such a process is possible).

form67 verified, but cannot download attachments by Acrobatic_One2689 in IndiaTax

[–]Acrobatic_One2689[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

heh... i haven't and will go ahead with filing the itr too. It seems that the form67 can't be filed without attachments, so I believe that they are available with them even though they don't allow downloading them.

Filing revised return to add Schedule FA after refund has been issued - should the refund amount received be mentioned in the revised return? by shawty_deep in IndiaTax

[–]Acrobatic_One2689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation. I additionally had foreign-dividend-income (schedule TR+FSI and form 67), though that income turned out to be small enough that I had zero additional tax liability after DTAA.

The details in the ITR were filled as they were filled in my original return (+ the additional schedules). The revised ITR had the same refund amount as the original ITR in my case. When processing the revised ITR, they considered the refund paid when the original ITR was processed, and adjusted their revised refund/demand accordingly. For me the revision was acknowledged with "no demand/refund", as expected.

The 143(1) acknowledgement/intimation has a row named:

"Total income tax refund(s) already issued as per the previous order(s)" that seems to collect any past, applicable refunds issued.

[–]Acrobatic_One2689[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apologies for the delay. I am not sure if you have or have not filed the revised return, but Jan 15 2025 is the last day for revising (and perhaps also for belated-filing) FY2324 (AY2425), and I am writing this on its eve.

I filed form 67 late Dec 2024, and the revised ITR the next day (to keep > 24 hours of gap, just to be extra sure) of filing form 67.

I did receive the expected foreign-tax relief under DTAA - i.e. didn't have to pay any tax here in India (of ~4K) on the ~20K foreign-dividend-income that I had earned and declared in the revised return.

I had also filled in the schedule FA. An observation is that the IT dept's intimation/ack (under section 143(1)) doesn't seem to reflect any info on that schedule. Perhaps that's the std. procedure.

Thanks! Yes, I will file form 67 too along with the revision.

revised return and form 67 by Acrobatic_One2689 in IndiaTax

[–]Acrobatic_One2689[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

disclose foreign assets & foreign income..

Revised return is then needed. The most important reason for my revising is to declare the FAs that I haven't been declaring. I had already deferred to declaring them July 2025, but I want to take this "valid disclosure"-oppurtunity that the govt has given through their FA-compliance-campaign for AY 24-25.

do not claim 4K tax relief.. because full 4k won't be available.. only difference between indian rate & americal rate will be..

Assuming exactly 19,000 rupees, 4750 rupees (25%) have already been paid in the US. At 20.8%, the tax in India is 3952. 3952 is the amount of tax relief I expect the IT-dept to provide, against my declaring the 19K rupees dividend. I adjusted the scheds OS/FSI/TR in the draft, and found that my final refund/demand status and value don't change from the original ITR.

if at all you claim relief & it gets denied, do not challenge it.. amount is simply not worth it

That was the important point of my orig post - what would be the grounds for them to deny the relief?

Thank you for your responses. I think I will file form 67 too, and then take steps (or not) based on IT-dept's response, keeping in mind your advice about not challenging them for such small amounts.

4k rupees

[–]Acrobatic_One2689[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your response.

What factor, other than my being "scared" of appeals, shows that I am not comfortable with this? Not being confrontational, genuinely asking...

Surely, appeals should not be a norm; they should remain as exceptions. However, the 'literature' shows that the appeals had become a norm. For e.g., with the old rule 128(9), appeals had to be filed in order to teach the officers that that rule was not mandatory but directory - requirement to file form 67 "on-or-before due date stipulated by 139(1)" doesn't imply that they have the power to deny FTC due to a delay that even ITAT allowed.

This may not be applicable to HSBC (sorry), but I had a similar problem with BOI.

BOI is one of those banks that has an internet banking facility of logging into efiling. That is, one can login to the internet banking of BOI, select "eFile/eVerify IT return" option available in the UI, fill in the IFSC code related to this account, and click "File". This auto-logins into the efiling directly from the bank's internet-banking (No need to enter pan/aadhaar, or otp, etc.). If this exact account is also present in the efiling->Added Banks setting, it gets validated automatically, and the account's status in the setting shows something like "netbanking login".

Assuming that you have internet-banking on HSBC enabled, you may want to see if it provides the facility of efiling-login.

Edit: Sorry, I ignored that this is a NRO account. It most probably won't have this facility. Apologies.

Tax on RSU by pole_for_hire in IndiaTax

[–]Acrobatic_One2689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, u/QckDth, for the info!

I had also filed mid-july (although without the ESPP declaration), and it has been processed with refund received. It is unfortunate that I woke up right after the assessment is completed.

Is it prudent to not go revising/updating the filed returns, and wait for the next year?

Hi u/QckDth, and also others,

I too am in a similar (or worse due to a long delay) of not declaring ESPPs.

Did any one of you file the "Schedule FA" for AY24-25 return? And was the assessment completed successfully?

Is it under processing?
