Incorrect income tax demand

Hi Guys, need one suggestion on income tax demand.
1. I got e-proceeding notification for adjustment in my AY 2020-21 return and since the adjustment was completely wrong and accordingly I replied within 2 days of notice and the e-proceeding was closed mentioning that either i didn't provide the response or the response was not satisfactory.
2. After 20 days I received demand notice for the same and I disagreed to that demand over the portal and also raised grievance on portal for which I received a resolution that since I didn't respond within 30 days from the issue of notice hence the adjustment was made which was obviously incorrect. I re-opened that greivance and waiting again for their reply.
I need opinion that from here what options I have and how to proceed further.

Quick Summary

Despite grievances, the department cited a lack of timely response. The thread explores options for challenging these demands and includes advice on rectification requests for clerical errors when revision is no longer possible.

Thanks, got the resolution for issue.
It's completely wrong way .

Appreciate it, if you could advise on the procedure, please?

Dear Amit, I'm facing the same issue. Appreciate it, if you could advise the procedure you followed.

Hi Karthik, In my case I have noted one apparent mistake in my last year return and the tax demand raised by department was correct. However, time to revise AY 2020-21 return has already been passed and now the only option I have is to request for rectification in return data (pls note that you can raise this request only for clerical/arthimatical mistakes and similar type of errors where the total income and deduction shouldn't be changed). You can raise this request under "service" category over portal.
