[ug_convert_part.exe] is available under %UGII_ROOT_DIR% folder that fullymeets all user intents to convert units for a single part, assembly or all part in a folder or sub-folders. There is no other way to do it through GUI. Although, it may be a bit tedious for some but not too complex or technical.

Rectification Request u/s 154(1) for Tax mismatch Only [ITR-1 Income from Salary (More than one employer)].


Abstract : 

TDS on Salary as deducted by three employers (due to Transfer Posting) during previous year, didn't exactly matched with ITR-1 claims for AY 2017-18. Although, Tax was deducted by the two previous employers and same is correctly shown in Form 26AS, but I didn't mention it correctly in my return. I forget to fill TDS details for previous employers and therefore,  tax deducted by them was not considered while processing the return. Tax demand is raised against the income with previous two employers.  It falls under 'apparent mistake in records' as tax is already deducted but not claimed in return. 

I filed a 'Rectification request for Tax mismatch Only' without changing any other data in my original return.


An e-mail from Income Tax CPC is Too Scary, isn't it !!
Nothing less than a nightmare to see a new email from '@cpc.gov.in' in your inbox. Its hard to push down an unusual feeling of discomfort and nervousness that spontaneously runs through whole body, even though it might be a 'Normal' or confirmation message. Filling annual tax return is one of the tedious and awful tasks for me as well as most of us who are salaried employees. Nobody would ever want to see it again until next assessment.

This year, I too received an 'Intimation U/S 143(1)' for AY2017-18, showing a TDS mismatch under two sub-sections that eventually led to a demand for Net tax payable at Sr. no.-52. These are :
1. Interest Payable     ( Sr. no  33-36)
2. Pre-paid Taxes        ( Sr. no  38-42)

Its a bit tricky and cumbersome to calculate/verify an interest mismatch and even I don't care about it.  However, Item 2 could be related to a clerical error or invalid entries  or apparant mistakes while filing an income tax return. 

What mistakes Rectification Request ?


A rectification request under section 154(1) is allowed by the Income Tax Department for correcting mistakes when there is an apparent mistake in your Income Tax Return.

Under this section, you can rectify clerical, arithmetical mistakes, a mismatch in tax payments, inclusion of income chargeable under an incorrect heading, and even changes in your resident status. Further, there must be confirmation that the mistake is apparent from the records and it is not a mistake that requires debate, elaboration, investigation, etc.

What went wrong ?

had been transfered two times during previous year. Form 26AS  clearly shows the details of tax deducted by all three employers alongwith other deductions. This details must match with records uploaded in income tax return. However, I forget to mention these important details such as TAN number, Name, Amount paid and Tax deducted by two previous employers. 

What to do if there is Mismatch in ITR1 with Form 26AS ?

Scenario-1
It makes sense to pay net amount against Demand Identification No (DIN), if Tax mismatch is only due to interest payable or you agree to the Tax demand. 
In both cases, just pay the tax and relax.

Scenario-2

In case you find some error in the calculation sheet or mistakes apparent in records, you can file a rectification request online or should consult a qualified CA or good tax expert for further action. 

Given below is a manual from Income Tax official website, howeve it lacks some screenshot during the process and checking status after request submittion.
