Once this system-level barring is triggered the relevant return period becomes non-editable and the taxpayer is technically prevented from filing the pending return.

In order to enabled an online application, a Taxpayer can apply under Services → Returns → Application for Unbarring Returns, reasons for non-filing must be clearly stated, application is routed to the Jurisdictional Assessing Officer, upon satisfaction, the AO may approve unbarring & once approved, the barred return becomes available for filing
