Timing of actual filing return after paying self-assessment tax

No need to wait; you can file ITR now...

Please fill the details of the challan (payment) in Schedule Tax paid.... If it is not reflecting in it.

Thank you Sir. I have filled in the SAT details into the Tax paid section manually.

Just to be sure, I wanted to check if it's also expected to see an entry under "Generated challans" in the ePortal tax payment page? Also, OLTAS lookup via. CIN is not returning any result for this BSR and challan number, hence I was asking if such e-payment of Tax is expected to show up in either "Generated challans" in IT ePortal, or in OLTAS.

To re-iterate, the Payments section in IT ePortal is showing the SAT payment, as well as the main Dashboard's graph for tax paid.

Thank you again for your help.

If the payment is successful from bank side it will reflect on IT portal within a week. If you have filled the payment details in ITR, it will be processed without any demand.

For successful payments, I-T portal is immediately showing successful payment and allowing Challan [ which is the receipt] download.

In OLTAS, it is taking time to show and also in AIS. I made a few Self Assessment payments and got the challans from I-T Portal immediately after making the payment.

In AIS [for AY 26-27 and not in AIS 25-26 for which SAT was paid] it appeared after almost 10 days.

But I completed my filing based on the challans.

No need to wait for OLTAS or AIS to show, as you said.

Yes... but queries wanted to confirm about filing step without portal/AIS reflecting the payment.

Thank you again, Dhirajlal ji and Mr. Ranjan for your replies. It's very much appreciated.

Mr. Ranjan, just to be 100% sure I am seeing the same thing which you have already successfully done many times, the download of the challan receipt is from within the section called "Payment history" within "e-pay Tax" section of IT portal, is that right?

Sorry to post such basic looking question again, but I am a bit nervous. I thank you all again for your patient and quick replies.

@ Arvind

Yes, it is the Payment History within e-Pay section of the I-T Portal which is holding the Challans for downloading.

The AIS displays much later but one cannot download challan from AIS.

@ Dhirajlal Ji

Namaskar.

We always look forward to your selfless work in helping all of us in the Indian Taxation maze.
