Wrong adjusted of income tax refund

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

A taxpayer's refund was adjusted against a demand raised after an assessment, even though an appeal was filed. The adjustment is considered correct if no stay on the demand was obtained. The discussion also touches upon how to file a stay of demand online, particularly after the introduction of the faceless assessment system, suggesting sending the application via registered post to the AO.

26 June 2021 assessment is done u/s 143 (3) and demand raised of rs. 1 lakh. we have filed appeal to CIT. but when i received my refund order of last assessment year they have adjusted demand in my refund.
is it wrong because we are in appeal and case is not final.
