Incorrect ay in tax challan paid online

Efiling 3971 views 7 replies

Dear CCI Members,

I had filed my income tax online for Assesment Year 10-11, where I paid Self Assesment Tax (ITNS 280) online using ICICI Bank for the amount Rs. 22,000. While filling the Challan, I made a mistake of entering the wrong AY year (I mentioned AY 09-10).

I had gone to the IT office in Mayur Bhavan, CP, Delhi to rectify the same and they had confirmed that they had migrated the challan. But this week (8-Aug-11) I got a demand letter fom CPC banglore stating that I need to pay the 23,000 in unpaid taxes from AY 10-11. 

I again went to the IT Dept, now they say that I need to contact CPC. When I contacted CPC helpline they told me to goto the receiving Bank Branch to rectify it. Then I went to the reciveiving ICICI bank Branch, they informed me that nothing can be done from their end.

Kindly Advise. I am not sure how to proceed.

If you have received intimation u/s 143(1) demanding Rs. 23,000/-, reply to them u/s 154 rectification of assessment enclosing the copy of the challan of self assessment tax paid Rs. 22,000/-, and also the letter you sent to IT for change of AY, and a letter sent to ICICI bank for change of AY, requesting them to rectify and update their records. 

I think ICICI should be able to make the changes; they will rectify the error and upload a revised data file on NSDL, aand then you will get the credit in 26AS.

I had gone to the ICICI bank Branch, The Branch's Bank Operations manager has informed me that they will not be able to make any changes to the Tax challan after consulting their internal ICICI Banl Department. The Manager told me that I need to get it sorted out from the IT Department itself.

So I do not have any letter from the bank. 

Should I send for rectification using online rectification option in the incometaxindiaefiling website ?

Normally, when you write to your AO for changing AY for tax payments, they reply back requesting you to approach the bank and do the needful because the bank sends data file to NSDL for processing. But since ICICI has not assisted you in this matter, you can show the letter (acknowledged copy) sent to IT for change of AY as and when required. So you can proceed to send rectification. Any queries are raised by them, you can always show them the letter requesting IT to change AY.

I am not undertanding which XML file to upload to send for rectification.

How should I create this XML file ? Should I follow any format ?

I have read the manual, and this infrmation is not mentioned.

Sir

IT dept.itself can proceed your request.

Send the letter to concerned ITO stating that you have made wrong asst.year and everything along with the paid challan etc., then the ITO will rectify and change it.

Since you have filed through online, you must rectify through "Rectification Upload"., in the efiling site. This situation is complicated for them to rectify because they are very much interested in the credit reflected in 26AS statement, so the rectification may be done by the IT dept. with special officials in the efile processing unit.

It is better to consult with professionals/consultants and then proceed.

such requests can be booked to bank as soon at its traced with the assessee, the rectification authority is now CIT of your city, who will intiate the NSDL to rectify the assessment order, but it would get complicated as you are askiing when almost one year is passed and also the assessment procedure is completed, so they have to look back in previous year and see if the amount is excess there then only they can proceed, it would need random chase up and time consuming.

It is just supporting document. I hope it will be useful.
