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.
