Recently I faced a situation where the tax demand on regular assessment of my client for A.Y 2008-09 was deposited with a nationalized bank but wrongly the said payment of demand was done towards A.Y 2010-11. This situation may have been faced by many assessees because there may always a possibility of mentioning wrong Assessment year or wrong PAN/TAN etc in the TDS Challan or in Income Tax Challans.
In such situation the first thing that comes to mind is how one can get the challan corrected after the payment of tax so that right credit of tax is given to the assessee/deductor concerned. The power to amend such wrong details in challan after payment of tax in OLTAS has been given to Assessing officer and Bank depending upon the type of correction, which has been provided as follows for the benefit of all concerneds.
NSDL receives tax collection data as uploaded by the bank. It is not authorized to carry out any changes in the data sent by the bank to TIN.
The fields that can be corrected and the entity authorized to carry out corrections are as below:
|

Thus application should be made for correction to the A.O or Bank in case of any mistake in Income Tax/TDS Challan depending upon the type of correction as mentioned above.
