Late fee paid but details left out in ITR


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
A user's friend paid a Rs. 5000 late fee for their ITR but forgot to include the challan details in the filing. The IT department has now raised a demand for this amount. The advice given is to file a rectification under the 'Demand paid and Challan has CIN' reason, entering '5000' as the amount not payable. Alternatively, responding directly to the outstanding demand notice with the challan details is also suggested, though filing a rectification is considered preferable.

16 August 2022 Sir,

One of my friend has filed ITR 1 on 1st of August 2022. There is no tax due after deducting the TDS as per Form 16. But, due to late filing, he has to pay Rs. 5000/- late fees. He paid that amount on the same day, but failed to fill up the challan details in the ITR.

Now, the IT department has raised a demand for Rs. 5000/- Can he go for rectification in the IT Portal under the head SERVICES and furnish the challan details of the said payment ? Is it correct ?

Pls. advice.

16 August 2022 yes he can file rectification and may also furnish reply to the demand by mentioning the challan details.

16 August 2022 Thank you so much Sir.

24 August 2022 With reference to the above, my friend has tried to file Rectification and while doing so, he has selected the reason in Serial No. 2 - Demand paid and Challan has CIN (With open challan details). On proceeding further, in the next screen, the portal asks "Please Enter the amount not payable for the above reason". The challan details of the payment already made, also appears, showing Rs. 5000/- as unclaimed challan amount. Here, what must be the amount, whether '0' or ' 5000'. Because, he tried both and on both the occassion, the next screen " Amount payable " dialog box appears prompting with ' Pay Now '. How to proceed ?

Pls. advice.

25 August 2022 You are responding to outstanding demand not filing rectification and hence mention 5000 as amount not to be paid

25 August 2022 Thank you very much, Sir.

26 August 2022 Sir, in continuation to my above query, we have filed the response to the Outstanding Demand. Is it fine or should we also go for rectification. Pls. advice.

26 August 2022 File rectification also preferable

26 August 2022 Ok. Thank you Sir.
