I have received intimation u/s 143(1) with a demand of Rs 16640 caused due to TAN missmatched as per 26AS and my return. I have total 17 patries who has deducted TDS for AY 2013-14.
I filled a rectification request with rectification request type "tax payer is correcting data for tax credit mismatch only" I added a single TAN detail and TDS amount which was mismatched and filed the rectification request.
Now I received rectification order u/s 154 with the demand of Rs 4,24,670. This order only included TDS of 13756 which i added during the rectification.

Sir, We can Enter upto 10 TAN details and respective TDS amount in rectification type " Taxpayer is correcting data for tax credit mismatch only ". What should I do next?

Yes, your situation is a common issue when dealing with TDS mismatches in rectification requests. Here's a complete breakdown of what went wrong, why the demand increased, and how you should proceed next:
๐ What Went Wrong: You filed a rectification request under โTax credit mismatch onlyโ, and added only one TAN/TDS amount that was mismatched. In doing so, you likely overwrote the original TDS data with just that one corrected entry. As a result, CPC processed your return considering only one TDS entry, ignoring the other 16 TDS entries โ which caused the demand to shoot up (Rs. 4.24 lakh). This happens because in a rectification request, you must re-enter all correct TANs and TDS details, not just the ones being changed.
โ Correct Approach Going Forward: 1. File a Fresh Rectification Request with Correct Option:
Go to the Income Tax Portal Select Rectification โ New Request Choose: Section 154 Reason: Taxpayer is correcting data in rectification (NOT just tax credit mismatch) Re-enter all 17 TANs and full TDS details from your Form 26AS โ not just the corrected one. 2. Optionally: Upload a Rectified XML Return
If many corrections are needed (e.g., more than 10 TANs, salary changes, income heads), choose: Rectification Type: "Return data correction (XML Upload)" Prepare a revised ITR using your software (or Income Tax Utility) with correct TDS and income details, and generate an XML. Upload that XML file as part of the rectification.
