Paid self assesment tax just after uploading itr2 xml.

I used the ITR2 java utility and generated X M L out of it and uploaded the X M L and then paid the self assessment tax. Today I got this sms which says:
Pay self assessment tax before filing IT return to avoid return to be treated as defective.
So do we ideally have to pay self assessment tax before uploading the X M L? What should be done in my case? I have not yet sent the ITR-V by post.

When system calculates tax for you. You should pay on line  get the challan no, Bsr code  , date and amt. Fill in Adv tax/self assesment tax sheet. In fact pay about 150-175 more so that you get refund. Less than 100 you will not get refund.  Then generate XML and uplaod the return under 139[5]. Do it now.

No issues, you can again file your return.......otherwis it will be treated as defective return

Cant do first pay tax then upload ...itr need to berevised

Thanks for the comments. So does the next X M L I upload should be a revised one? If I select revised it says enter receipt number, is the receipt number the same as acknowledgement number mentioned in the ITR-V of previous upload?

Yes fill the acknowledgement number. Plz note that you are filing under 139[5]

HAPPY REFILING
