Respected Experts,

For FY23-24 my ITR was processed properly and there was no demand no refund.

But a few months later the online status changed to Demand Due but my ITR, and Intimation 143(1) was proper. There was no demand menioned anywhere. I even redownloaded the intimation but there was no demand shown therein, it was clear.

I checked complaince portal as well as outstanding demand sections and there was nothing in there.

I raised a grievance and I was told that demand < 100 rs will be automatically settled in next refund.

This year FY24-25 there's a refund of 170 Rs and all 170 Rs got credited to my bank account.

So things are not adding up. The status of 'Processed with demand due' is wrong, but it's unclear wny the status changed to that from 'no refund/no demand' on its own last year!!

Any explanation shall be great. As such there's no action on me whatsoeever at the moment.

Thanks

It could have been a flag set during backend reconciliation, which, being under ₹100 and thus non-actionable, simply lingered as a pseudo status until the next financial cycle.

Demand appearing months after a no-demand intimation:

• Check the "Outstanding Demand" section for the reference (Sec 143(1) re-processing, rectification by the CPC under 154, or a demand from a different section). If wrong, respond "Disagree" with reasons, and seek rectification.

A portal status alone does not establish a recoverable demand. The controlling record is the section 143(1) intimation and the demand entry in the relevant assessment year’s e-Proceedings/Outstanding Demand details. If the intimation shows no demand and no demand is displayed there, retain the intimation and grievance reply; the status may reflect a later system update or an internal adjustment flag, but the reason cannot be confirmed from the status label alone.

The ₹170 refund for FY 2024–25 being credited in full suggests no deduction was made from that refund. Check the FY 2023–24 year’s “View Tax Credit Mismatch”/outstanding-demand records and refund adjustment details, and raise a fresh grievance quoting the assessment year and attaching the intimation if the status persists. Your current records indicate no immediate payment action, but keep an eye on any formal demand notice or updated intimation.

This kind of status check fits naturally into year-wise return and demand reconciliation. Manual tracking across intimations, grievances and refund adjustments is difficult; automation can reduce repetitive work while keeping professional judgment in control.
