A taxpayer received a demand notice for AY 2020-21 because of an incorrect TAN on their original ITR, despite paying the tax. They filed an offline rectification request, but are now encountering an error when trying to respond to the demand notice online. The user is seeking clarification on why the error occurs and if their rectification process was correct.

In the original ITR filed for AY 2020-21 , TAN of the deuctor mentioned wrongly and got the demand notice for the entire tax , though Tax paid and reflecting in the Form 26AS . Then rectification filed through offline mode with the help of Tax consulatant . The issue what I am seeing in the site is when try to respond to the Oustanding demand , while entering the Ack no: of rectification filed at CPC , getting the error """No records found for revised/rectified return for the assessment year """ . So my questions are why this error is getting when trying to give Response to outstanding demand . Also the process used to rectify TAN number mistake is correct ? If not what I need to do . Thanks

As you have already paid the outstanding demand, which reflects in your Form 26AS, it would be better to reply the outstanding demand with acknowledging the payment receipt.
