RECEIVED INTIMATION U/S 399 FOR TDS PAYMENT ON PROPERTY PURCHASE

I have received an intimation u/s 399 against form 141 schedule B filed for TDS payment. It is demand due to short deduction (less than a rupee) and interest on late deduction. The interest on late deduction is due to a mistake in entering dates in form 141. So I filed a correction with correct dates so that no interest is applicable. Now AO has asked for several documents for verification. Rather than going through the hassle of collecting and providing so many documents I am fine to pay the original demand which is not a significant amount. Can I pay the original demand and will the case get closed or AO may get suspicion and still ask for documents? I assume AO would reject the correction which I am fine with but can he still ask for verification documents or inititate proceedings? Please advise what is the best course of action.

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses an intimation received under section 399 regarding TDS payment on a property purchase. The user made a minor error in date entry on Form 141, leading to a small demand for short deduction and late payment interest. While a correction was filed, the Assessing Officer (AO) has requested numerous documents for verification. The user is considering paying the original demand to resolve the matter quickly, seeking advice on whether this will close the case or if the AO might still pursue further documentation or proceedings.

In short, paying the original demand is the quickest resolution, but you must upload the payment challan along with a brief written statement requesting the withdrawal of your correction request so the AO can formally close the open verification file.

Just to add AO has asked details about past paid challans, bank statements showing past payments to builder, etc.
