Wrong usage of challan no 282 instead of challan no.280 for paying advance tax

Any demand raised till date?

yes sir, the demand raised for all the Assessment years mentioned in my mail ie, 2014-15 and 2015-16. Even the self assesement tax was also paid using wrong challan no.282 instead of 280

Procedure of challan correction by Assessing Officers (both physical and e-payment challans)

After the window period available to banks for challan correction, the assessee can make a request for correction to his or her assessing officer, who is authorized under the departmental OLTAS application to make such correction in challan data in bonafide cases, to enable credit of the taxes paid, to the concerned assessee.

Tax payer/Authorized Signatory Date

Note:

  1. Attach copy of original challan counterfoil.

  2. In case of correction to challan 280, 282, 283 attach copy of PAN card.

  3. In case of a non-individual tax payer, attach the original authorization with seal of the non-individual tax-payer.

  4. The request form for correction is to be submitted in duplicate to the Authority.

  5. A separate request form is to be submitted for each challan.

Thank you sir for the reply. i will write to the Assessing officer, Chennai.But one doubt is still lingering in my mind. The correction is not in the challan. the challan used itself is wrong, instead of using challan No.280 for paying income tax on interest income etc, i have wrongly used challan No.282. so whatever amount paid under challan no.282 should be treated as income tax and not interest tax
