Here's the general information regarding the deadline for correcting the assessment year online:
Through the bank: You can approach the concerned bank branch for correction of the Assessment Year within 7 days from the challan deposit date. This is typically for physical challans.
Through the e-filing portal/TRACES: For online challans you can correct the Assessment Year through the e-filing portal (which links to TRACES functionalities) within 7 days of the challan deposit date.
If the 7-day window to correct through the bank or e-filing portal has expired, you can still make a request for correction to the concerned Jurisdictional Assessing Officer (AO). The AO is authorized under the OLTAS application to make such corrections in bona fide cases. There isn't a strict online deadline for approaching the AO, but it's advisable to do so as soon as possible.
