Hi Expert, A pensioner filed his ITR for 2016-17. Received demand notice as Bank did not submit TDS on time. Followed up with the bank, they have deposited TDS. Return was filed again (or say revised) Now Tax officer raised a demand for Rs 50. My question is - Once Rs.50 is paid then how to link the e-payment with the Return (i.e. revised return)?

No need to link with return, System will square up the demand upon payment from your side.

To address your queries regarding the payment of tax and linking it to your revised ITR, follow these steps:
### **1. Payment of Tax**
- **URL for Payment:** The URL you provided is indeed for making tax payments online through the NSDL e-Gov website. It is correct for making tax payments related to income tax.
- **Challan to Use:** You should use Challan No. ITNS 280 for paying tax related to income tax. This challan is specifically for income tax payments.
**Steps to Pay Using ITNS 280:** 1. **Visit the Payment Portal:** Go to the [NSDL e-Gov Income Tax Payment](https://onlineservices.tin.egov-nsdl.com/etaxnew/PopServlet?rKey=136764880) portal. 2. **Select Challan:** Choose Challan No. ITNS 280. 3. **Fill in Details:** Enter the details such as PAN, assessment year, and payment type (which would be self-assessment tax in this case). 4. **Payment Method:** Complete the payment process using your preferred payment method.
### **2. Linking the Payment to Your ITR**
Once you have made the payment, follow these steps to ensure it is linked to your revised return:
1. **Download the Challan:** After completing the payment, download or save the payment challan. This will have the transaction details including the Challan Number, BSR Code, and Payment Date.
2. **Verify Payment Status:** - You can verify the status of your payment on the [Income Tax Department’s e-Filing Portal](https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/home). - Go to the "e-Pay Tax" section to check if the payment has been successfully recorded.
3. **Update Your ITR:** - **No Direct Linking Required:** Normally, you do not need to link the payment directly to the revised return. The Income Tax Department will automatically reconcile the payment with your return based on the PAN and Assessment Year. - **Upload the Challan (if needed):** If required by the tax office, you may need to upload the payment challan or provide the details during any further communication with the tax office.
4. **Keep Records:** Maintain a copy of the challan and payment receipt as proof of payment.
### **Summary:**
- Use **Challan ITNS 280** for making the tax payment. - The payment should be made through the URL you provided. - After payment, verify the status on the income tax e-filing portal. - Normally, no direct linking of payment to the ITR is required beyond this.
By following these steps, you ensure that the tax payment is correctly accounted for and any further issues regarding the demand notice are addressed.
