Hello forum,

This is my first time filing an IT return as a non-resident. I updated my mobile number and address to my foreign mobile and address on Income Tax e-Filing website's "My Profile" section.

I then proceeded to file my tax returns. This contact information populated automatically in "Part A: General Information" page. However, when I try to submit the return, the page errors out and refuses to accept my foreign mobile number. It blanks out the field and proceeds to call it invalid. Attached screenshot.

What am I doing wrong here? Can someone please help! Your help is much appreciated!

Sorry for late reply but this is happening even when you put NRI as your status. Plus this is mandatory field so, either give your family member's indian phone number OR upload the XML. Those are the only 2 options I see.
