Demand Notice: Challan is not available for the AY

I have received a demand notice with the following reason "Challan is not available for the
AY". I paid Self assessment tax which is showing in 26 AS and also mentioned the challan details while submitting ITR but the same was not picked up during processing. Please confirm if i have to select "Demand is correct" and enter challan details or "No, demand is not correct" and enter challan details.

Quick Summary
If you've received a demand notice stating 'Challan is not available for the AY' despite paying your self-assessment tax and including challan details in your ITR, you need to address it. The advice given is to select 'No, demand is not correct' and provide the challan details again. If the challan is visible in your 26AS, you may only need to file a rectification.

Kindly share the intimation order and copy of 26AS at casoravgupta @ gmail.com, so that we can advise you accordingly.

In case of any further queries, kindly mail me at casoravgupta @ gmail.com

You have to select no demand is not correct and give the challan details

thank so much. I suppose i have to select this option in step 2 "Demand paid and Challan has CIN (With open challan details)". Please confirm. Also, what should i fill in the field highlighted in yellow (refer screenshot attached)

If challan is visible in 26AS then nothing to do, only file rectification
