Quick Summary
If you've paid advance income tax for the incorrect assessment year, and it's not appearing in Form 26AS, there are potential solutions. While banks can correct certain challan details within specific timeframes, if the time limit has expired, you'll need to contact your local tax officer. They may be able to correct the error or grant you credit for the tax paid, allowing you to claim a refund in the correct assessment year.

In the case of the following errors, the bank branch accepting the tax payments are permitted to correct the challan data and in the time frame mentioned below:

  • Amount of tax – within 7 days from the deposit of challan
  • Assessment year – within 7 days from the deposit of challan
  • Major head code – within 3 months from the deposit of challan
  • Minor head code – within 3 months from the deposit of challan
  • PAN of the taxpayer – within 7 days from the deposit of challan
  • Nature of payment – within 3 months from the deposit of challan

Hence, a taxpayer has to make an application for correction within the time period mentioned above.

Further to Dhirajlal's reply, since in your case the time limit has expired, you need to approach your tax officer and request him to carry out the correction. Alternatively, request him to grant you credit for this tax paid and thereby claim refund in AY 2020-21
