Correction can be made within 15 days of deposit.

Procedure for challan correction online:
The following is the procedure for challan correction online:

Step 1: Go to https://www.tdscpc.gov.in/app/login.xH T M L

Enter login ID, password and TAN no

Now, Click on Login button

Step 2: Challan Correction menu

After login to traces, go to “Statements/ Payments” tab and “Select “Request for OLTAS Challan Correction”

It will redirect you to OLTAS Challan Correction Menu. Now click on proceed button.

Step 3: Filing of Online Challan Correction

In first slide you will get message that Deductor will only be able to correct Financial Year, Major Head, Minor Head & Section code, TAN/PAN correction will be enabled soon. Click on “Proceed” button
Now enter the details of Challan for which correction is to be made the details include:
BSR code of challan
Date of deposit of challan amount
Challan serial number
Challan Amount

3. Enter the details and click on “Go” buttonYou will be able to view the challan, now make the required correction like:

Financial Year
Section Code
Major head
Minor head

Only make the required correction in case wrong section is selected then you need to correct the section only and no other information in the challan.

After the required details is made click on “Submit” button. One the submission button is clicked your challan request is submitted with traces. You can track your OLTAS challan correction request under Statement/Payments tab.

Such corrections are no more required because you now have an option to adjust this at the time of filing TDS return.

I agree with poornima

No Need to Change You Can Use Tax Paid Under Head Sec 194A against TDS Liability under Head 194C and vice versa.
