A rectification under section 154 does not ordinarily quash the original order. The authority amends the order to the extent of the apparent mistake; the original order continues to operate as amended, and the demand should be recomputed accordingly. A separate rectification order/intimation should record the change, and the revised demand or refund should follow from it.
- Check the rectification order and the updated demand computation on the portal; confirm that the relief allowed is reflected in the outstanding demand.
- If only part of the mistake was corrected, the balance can be pursued by a further rectification application if it remains an apparent mistake, or through the appropriate appeal route where the issue requires adjudication or interpretation.
- The precise process depends on the type of order and the authority that passed it. If the demand record has not updated, follow up with that authority with the rectification order and computation.
This is also a useful checkpoint in the rectification-to-demand reconciliation workflow. Manual tracking across orders, computations and portal balances is difficult; automation can reduce repetitive work while professional judgment remains in control.
