Section 245 compliance

A client's return was upheld under Section 245, and they have a refund for 2022-23 exceeding the outstanding demand. The user is asking whether paying the outstanding demand will result in a full refund or if they should request the amount be adjusted against the refund. The advice given is to not pay the dues immediately, but to let them be adjusted from the refund to avoid potential complications in reclaiming the paid amount. It's also suggested to verify the exact outstanding demand, as correct demands may incur interest which could affect future refunds.
