I have received "Notice u/s 139(9)of Income Tax Act, 1961." for the following defect:
"As seen from the Audit information mentioned under ‘General’ information in ‘Part A- Gen’ of the return filed, the flag has been ticked as “Yes” against – ‘Whether liable for Audit under section 44AB?’. However, the audit report, u/s.44AB has not been filed electronically, as required under Rule 12(3) of the Income Tax Rules, 1962. Hence, as per clause (bb) of the Explanation under section 139(9), the return filed is regarded as defective"
But my CA has submitted form 3CB and I have approved it from income tax website before filing my income tax return the same day. Both income tax return and audit report are shown as filed on income tax website for AY 2017-18. The notice says to file query using "Response to notice u/s 139(9)" on income tax website but there is no entry for that field in incometax website.
Please help me to understand the cause of this notice. Should I ignore this notice or raise grievance on incometaxwebsite about this notice.

2. if it is not, then refile the return in response to the notice after making corrections for the date;
