Self assessment tax credit not given

Hi,

I have received an demand for AY 2020-21 u/s 143(1) of the exact amount which I had already paid as self assessment tax and included in ITR before submission. In the notice, under unmatched tax payment section, the reason of mismatch is specified as "Challan is not available for the AY".

I have cross checked the ITR, Challan details in NDSL site and 26AS.

The challan specifies tax applicable as 0021 (non-company deductees) and type 300 (self assessment tax).

The AY (2020-21) , BSR, Serial number , date etc are same in ITR filed and 26AS and challan.

I'm not sure why the tax credit was marked as unmatched!

I'm planning to respond to the demand as "disagree with demand" and select "demand paid" option and provide the challan cin details. Would that be the correct step to take?

Thank you for your time.

Demand received for FY20-21 or FY19-20? In 26AS, which year, is this transaction shown under?

I have received a similar demand. I have checked the challan details on OLTAS and I can see that it was received by TIN the very next day. Please suggest how I shall proceed?

Thank you for your reply.

I have already verified the details in oltas by searching using cin. The details are correct and same as ITR. (Major Head - 0021, Minor Head - 300 - Self Assessment Tax, Assesment Year 2020-2021 , Challan Tender Date 24-12-2020, Received by TIN on 29-12-2020, same amount, correct PAN)

Under the circumstances, I'm planning to respond to the demand as "disagree with demand" and select "demand paid" option and provide the challan cin details. Though I actually paid the self assessment tax itself which is showing up as demand. Is that be the correct step to be taken?

I suggest that you call CPC to get more info before responding to the demand notice.

I had called CPC, they are saying in a generic way that I'm advised to raise a rectification. However, refused to guide whether only to raise rectification which options OR to respond to demand notice saying disagree to demand OR both.

Would really appreciate any advise from website options perspective. Whether should I response to demand notice while choosing disagree option and supply cin details. As well as raise rectification request with only reprocessing.

In that case, I think whatever you said (Disagree with demand.....) is the option to choose (because I don't think there is anything to rectify if you have already included this challan in the ITR.

@ BMishra - I am also having similar issue. What's the final solution you went with? Can you please guide me.

In my particular case, I responded to demand notice saying disagree to demand. It eventually reprocessed and rectified. Please cross check your specific case/scenario and take appropriate action..
