IT demands of earlier years which were already paid, adjusted again from current refund by Dept.

This discussion addresses a frustrating issue where the Income Tax Department has deducted payments for earlier years' demands (AY 2020-21 & 2021-22) from a current refund (AY 2022-23), even though these demands were already settled. Despite submitting a grievance, the user received an automated response. Other users suggest filing a rectification request for the prior periods and ensuring a response to outstanding demands was submitted after the initial payment.
