18 March 2025 On February month, 2025, one of my client was inadvertently paid the ITAT appeal fees for the Assessment Year 2016-17 under wrong column. The payment of Rs.10,000 was made through electronically. Since, the ITAT was to be filed, I made a fresh payment of Rs. 10,000 correctly and the application has been filed with ITAT. So I decided to go for challan correction which was wrongly paid by our client and I requested the IT department in writing to change the relevant year from 'AY 2016-17' to 'AY 2025-26' as 'Advance Tax' from 'Appeal Fees' so that the paid amount can be utilized for the current tax period. However, till now the challan was still not rectified. Is there any proceeding to be forwarded or it may take a time duration? Kindly rectify my query, it will be grateful.

21 March 2025 According to the guidelines, corrections for certain aspects of a challan must be made within specific timeframes:

Assessment Year: Corrections can be made within 7 days from the date of deposit.

If your correction request is beyond these time limits, you may need to approach your Jurisdictional Assessing Officer (AO) for further assistance
