05 December 2012 Option 1: You may upload a revise return with the correct and updated details (recommended)

Option 2: Wait for the intimation u/s 143(1), upon issue of demand notice , you may file the revised return or make a request for considering the challan paid and reducing the demand.

06 December 2012 How to make request for the challan paid?
And is revised return allowed in belated return. Whether any interest will be charged U/s 143(1) if I decide to wait for demand notice?

23 July 2025 Here's a breakdown of your query regarding Self Assessment Tax not considered while e-filing and the possible consequences:

🔍 Scenario:
Self-assessment tax was paid correctly via challan for AY 2011-12,

But while e-filing, the tax was not declared/adjusted in the return,

Result: Return was uploaded showing tax payable, though already paid.

✅ Options & Consequences:
🔹 Option 1: Revised Return (Preferred)
You can revise the return only if the original return was filed on or before the due date.

Belated returns (filed after the due date) cannot be revised (as per section 139(5) applicable for AY 2011-12).

If your original return was belated, this option is not available.

🔹 Option 2: Wait for Intimation u/s 143(1)
The CPC (Central Processing Center) will issue a demand notice showing tax payable.

You can respond to the intimation online by filing a Rectification Request u/s 154,
attaching the challan details and proof of payment.

🧾 How to make the request for Self-Assessment Tax paid?
You will need to:

Log in to the Income Tax e-Filing Portal.

Go to e-File → Rectification → New Request.

Select "Return Data Correction (Online)".

Provide the correct challan details (CIN, amount, date, BSR code).

Attach supporting documents (challan copy).

Submit.

Alternatively, if the rectification option isn't available anymore due to time lapse (since it's AY 2011-12), you may have to:

Write to the Jurisdictional Assessing Officer with a formal letter, attaching a copy of:

The ITR-V (filed return),

The challan paid,

A request to adjust the tax already paid.

⚠️ Interest/Consequences (if you wait):
Interest u/s 234A/B/C could be calculated on the assumption of tax being unpaid.

You may get a demand notice for unpaid tax plus interest.

Once rectified, interest may still be partially applicable depending on the dates of tax payment and return filing.

📝 Suggestion:
Since AY 2011-12 is a very old assessment year, time limits for revision or online rectification may be over. You are likely to need offline rectification through the Jurisdictional AO.
