In Details of payment put the amount under "Fee undersec. 234E". Do not show amount under penalty. In Type of payment select any code which is there in your TDS return like 94C, 94J, 94A etc.
Also select "TDS/TCS Regular Assessment(Raised by I.T.Deptt.) (400)"

Mr.CMA.CS. Sanjay Thanks for reply, but I had paid Rs.1200-00 today itself, in Challan ITNS-281 in front of Penalty- 1200 in this manner.(Code enter-94C) and also select TDS Reg.Assessment (400)because the format of this challan not shown Fee under Sec-234E. whether this is a mistake?

Yes it is a mistake. You have paid in the old challan where there is no place to show amount for Fees u/s 234E. But the fact remains that you have paid the amount and therefore you should get credit of it.
Simply write a letter in response of the notice stating that amount has been paid but wrongly under penalty head. Also enclose the copy of the challan.
