Resident status during tax filing

Hi
I have a question on tax status filing. I returned to India from US early last year.
I am filing my taxes in India this year as RNOR. However, I wrongly filed it as 'Resident' last year when I should have filed it as NRI.

Is there anything I need to/can do now to fix it?

Thanks a lot!

I had a chat with a tax consultant and he said the filing status entered wrong last year doesn't matter as long as all taxes on money earned in India was paid. So, I am leaving it at that.
