Outstanding Demand as per Income tax portal

We can see that in case of response to outstanding demand, though the payment has been made it still appears on the income tax portal and the same gets adjusted against any refunds subsequently. This has been the norm in many cases. In spite of raising many grievances, filing rectification return or updating the portal with payment details, the demand doesnot go away. Have anyone faced the similar situation?

Thanks

Pay for the demand from the pay now option appearing under the outstanding demand.

It will become zero within 5 minutes of paying from this option.

If you are already made the payment and all online options are used, you can reach out to AO for necessary rectification to nullify outstanding demand. Else future refunds would unnecessary gets adjusted for said outstanding demand which you have already paid but not squared off in system.

If you haven't made payment yet, then you can follow process as mentioned by Susheel. That would be best option.
