If you have switched your job during the financial year 2017-18, then you must provide the details of income, tax deducted to your current employer using Form 12B. Your current employer will be able to deduct the correct amount of TDS only once you submit the details of TDS cut from your previous salary.

Revision of ITR
An individual has an option to revise the ITR filed to rectify any mistakes made. However, there is a time period by when the revision has to be made. As per section 139(5) of the Act, a person can file his revised return at any time before the expiry of one year from the end of the relevant assessment year or before the completion of assessment, whichever is earlier.
