This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

If you've mistakenly paid tax for the wrong Assessment Year (AY) on a challan, there are steps you can take to rectify it. If the error is realised within 7 days of payment, you can usually get the bank to correct it. For errors discovered after this 7-day window, you'll need to apply to your Income Tax Officer with a correction form detailing your information and the challan specifics.
