TDS RETURN LATE FEES PROBLEM

Can anyone help out me in this issue:
I filed TCS return on efiling portal for Quarter 1 on 14-07-2021 and date of filing also appear as 14-07-2021
Yesterday I received intimation of payment of Rs. 200 for late filing of return.
When I again login into the income tax portal and download the receipt it also shows date of filing 14-07-2021.
But it also shows as follow;
Date of filing: 14-07-2021
Submission accepted: 16-07-2021
Now, what should be done?

Quick Summary
A user filed their TDS return on July 14th but received a Rs 200 late filing fee because the submission was accepted on July 16th. They are questioning the discrepancy between the filing date and the acceptance date, especially with the new income tax portal's issues. While the advice is to pay the fee, the user feels it's unfair to file days in advance due to portal inefficiencies.

You have to pay a late fee of Rs 200/- as submission was accepted on 16 July 2017.
What is the reason of late acceptance of submission and I found no benefit of filing return online in this case
No one knows as new portal started functioning now. Many returns are rejected after many days on new portal due to poor functioning of income tax portal.

We can only raise grievance and wait for proper functioning of portal
You should pay the late fee
I dont deny for payment of late fees. My question is just that, it means we need to file tcs/tds return 2-3 days prior to due date just because department is incapable to accept return as and when it is filed
Till now everything will be okk on income tax portal, we have to file TDS/TCS return 4-5 days prior to due date
