To get Income Tax , TDS, Self Assessment Tax, Advance Tax, Wealth Tax  and Other Direct tax Payment Challan corrected / Rectified which were  paid at bank in Physical Mode and time period within which correction request can be made along with conditions , Procedures for the same and Format of the letter to bank.

Challan Correction Mechanism

Under OLTAS (On Line Tax Accounting System), the physical challans of all Direct Tax payments received from the deductors / taxpayers are digitized on daily basis by the collecting banks and the data transmitted to TIN (Tax Information Network) through link cell. At present, the banks are permitted to correct data relating to three fields only i.e. amount, major head code and name. The other errors can be corrected only by the assessing officers.

New Procedure of challan correction by banks (for physical challans):

To remedy this situation, a new Challan Correction Mechanism for physical challans has been put in place. Under this mechanism, for income tax payments made, the following fields can be got corrected through the concerned bank branch:

> Assessment Year

> Major Head Code

> Minor Head Code

> TAN/PAN

> Total Amount

> Nature of payment (TDS Codes)

The time window for the correction request by tax payer is as follows :

S.No

Correction required in Field name Period of Correction Request (from Challan Deposit Date)

1

TAN/PAN

7 days

2

Assessment Year

7 days

3

Amount

7 days

4

Other fields (Major head, Minor head, Nature of payment)

Within 3 months

The time window for correction by the bank is 7 days from the date of receipt of correction request from the tax-payer.

Conditions:

The changes can be made by the banks, subject to following conditions:

1. Correction in Name is not permitted.

2. Any combination of correction of Minor Head and Assessment Year together is not allowed.

3. PAN/TAN correction will be allowed only when the name in the challan matches with the name as per the new PAN/TAN.

4. The change of amount will be permitted only on the condition that the amount so corrected is not different from the amount actually received by the bank and credited to Govt. Account.

5. For a single challan, correction is allowed only once. However, where 1st correction request is made only for amount, a 2nd correction request will be allowed for correction in other fields.

6. There will be no partial acceptance of change correction request, i.e. either all the requested changes will be allowed, if they pass the validation, or no change will be allowed, if any one of the requested changes fails the validation test.

Procedure:

i. The tax-payer has to submit the request form for correction (in duplicate) to the concerned bank branch.
ii. The tax-payer has to attach copy of original challan counterfoil.
iii. In case of correction desired for challans in Form 280, 282, 283, the copy of PAN card is required to be attached.
iv. In case of correction desired for payments made by a tax-payer (other than an individual), the original authorization with seal of the non-individual tax­payer is required to be attached with the request form.
v.  A separate request form is to be submitted for each challan.

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.

    Dear Experts,

    While making payment of Self Assessment Tax for the AY 2019-20, I wrongly mentioned the AY 2018-19 in ITNS 280, Also the wrong code (400) was selected in minor head. It needs to be 300 as Self Assessment Tax. How can I correct it ? is there a way to cancel this transaction and get refund or can be rectified as suggested in next financial year. Kindly guide and suggest.

  34. Ratan rathi says:

    Is this mechanism is available for payments made before 1-09-2011 in which errors have crept and can be sought to be corrected from the assessing officer ?

  35. SATYA PRAKASH says:

    Facility for correction may be allowed after taking Rs.100 or so. If it is the mistake of Bank then Bank should deposit the money in NSDL for any mistake.

    The individual assesse shuld not be harassed in the name of rule or non-awareness of the procedure by the bank employees.

    It is suggested that some other agency should be authorized to do so after getting Bank authorization. The agency should charge some amount for the correction. This will decrease the work and individual tax payer has not be harassed by the Banks.
