Letter to ITO for correction in advance tax challan due to wrong interpretation of the term " Assessment Year".

Dated: 30^th January, 2013

To

Income tax Officer

Sub: Request for Rectification of A.Y in

                                    Advance Tax Challan (PAN –__________)

This is with reference to challan shown in the following table. While making payment of Advance Tax, wrong Assessment Tax, wrong Assessment Year was selected due to wrong understanding of Assessment Year as Financial Year.

While making online payment of Advance Tax through ______ Bank, the Assessee has wrongly mentioned the Assessment Year as 2009-2010 in above mentioned Challan considering financial year as Assessment Year, whereas the correct Assessment Year should have been mentioned as 2010-11. The mistake occurred inadvertently due to incorrect understanding by the Assessee in respect of Assessment Year. The Assessee has not claimed credit of this tax payment in Assessment Year 2009-10.

We therefore request you to kindly make the necessary correction in your records. We further request that the credit of above challan shall be given in Assessment Year 2010-11 and not in Assessment Year 2009-10. We are also enclosing a photocopy of the said challan.

We regret for the inadvertent mistake and inconvenience caused to you.

Thanking you

Yours faithfully,

For ______________
