Urgent Regarding refund claim for payment done again due to portal error

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

A taxpayer paid their tax twice due to a portal error, resulting in an overpayment. They are seeking assistance on how to claim a refund for the second payment, which is now reflected on the portal. The discussion suggests filing a revised return to claim the excess amount as a refund and reassures that claiming a refund for a double payment should not lead to increased scrutiny.

Reahrding AY 2025 2026
My tax payable was ₹56,000. Due to a portal error, my initial payment of ₹57,000 wasn't reflected, so I paid ₹57,000 again. However, I received a refund of ₹1,000 . Now, I also want the refund for the payment of 57,000 made
again. Now challan also reflecting in their portal .
Payment was done through card and I found out when it was debited in my statement.
Will claiming the refund again lead to more scrutiny?

12 October 2025 File revised return u/s. 139(5) IT act.
If both the challans get auto-populated, good; otherwise fill manually....
Thus claim the excess as refund.....
