A user accidentally paid an advance tax challan of Rs. 50,000 for AY 2021-22 under the regular assessment tax code instead of the advance tax code. They are seeking guidance on how to correct this error. Responses suggest that the challan might be accepted as is, or that the user may need to visit their local Assessing Officer (AO) for correction.
