Tax deducted twice from refund against same demand order

I have a client who has filed his return by himself for the PY 2020-2021 , he missed PGBP income in his original return (filed for refund of rs 22000) and filed a revised income (filed for refund of rs4000) in this regard. but he received refund due from original return i.e rs 22000. later he received a demand order for rs18000- which he paid through bank (offline).I filed the return for the PY 2021-22 (refund 32000), but the amount of Rs.18000 was deducted again from the refund against demand order and only 14000 was refunded. In this regard , I did seek advise from Income tax through grievance, they asked me to rectify return using the payment made against demand order for PY 2020-21 . But the rectification order came as the refund is adjusted against the same demand order. What should I do - the tax was deducted twice in PY 2020-21 & PY 2021-22

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a situation where tax was deducted twice from a client's refund against the same demand order. The client paid a demand order of £18,000, but this amount was subsequently deducted again from their next tax refund, resulting in a reduced payout. Attempts to resolve this through rectification and grievances with the CPC have been unsuccessful, with the AO suggesting the CPC is responsible and the CPC advising rectification which has not resolved the issue.

Approach AO of your jurisdiction and raise this issue

I had Approached the AO, but he says he can't do anything, and asked us to see CPC instead, we raised a grievance to CPC and they told us to file Rectification for FY 2020-21

My itr 1 for AY...20/21 had been processed with  lot of technical errors and tds of 30,000/- was not accepted though reflected in 26AS.

CPC was telling to file rectification ( which was not possible as if tds claimed

the income would change and for changed income there is no rectification)

Then approach AO of my

jurisdiction 

Till date nothing has happened 

CPC only processes return

 

@ umesh.  18k  demand ( deducted from 21-22 refund) and 18 k tax  paid by your client will appear in 26 AS of PY 20-21. Filed for rectification . You will get 18 k refund.
