Your whole data will be imported in a while in your utility and then you can make the necessary changes ONLY IN GREEN CELLS, and keep validating all the sheets or else you can validate the all sheets at the last.

In case you are not able to submit due to error “Invalid Hash value identified, Modification to ITR details outside utility is not allowed”, then you have to download Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service pack 1 (Full Package) from Official Microsoft Download Center. And proceed with its installation.

Then restart your system and try again to create XML/JSON file of that utility and then try to upload your utility.

After successful submission, keep the rectification reference number for future references.
