Read this before you submit

• One go only. Once you submit your corrections the form is frozen. NTA says no further chance will be given, so check every field before you press submit.
• Fee changes. If a change, for example in category or PwBD status, raises your fee, you pay the difference by credit card, debit card, net banking or UPI, and the correction counts only after that payment goes through. If the fee goes down, the extra you paid is not refunded.
• Help: NTA lists 011-40759000 and 011-69227700, and the email [email protected].
