Challan Serial Number is taken numeric - no leading zeros

Hi,

I helped file ITR1 for my relative. He paid self assessment tax and bank generated challan serial number as 00875.

However in the ITR utility offline, system is taking it as only 875. I though serial number is not numeric but full number including leading zeros. See the screenshot. Is everything OK or will IT dept take it as mismatch? They might say 875 does not match with 00875 so payment is not received? Thanks.

I had same issue during AY 22 23. I raised greivances many times but was told to file revised return and same issue persisted of tax credit mismatch. However when 143(1) issued it was taken into act with no demand no refund. Though satisfied but still it shows tax cr mismatch which did not vanish.

This AY 23 24 also same issue persisted when I paid self assessment tax (300). Showing tax cr mismatch of all challans starting with ZERO digit. It is happening for others also. It appears to be some bug in software. I suggested to Dept to allow to enter "*" in case where challan no starts with ZERO. Hope some solutions would be evolved.
