Chauhan Sir, In AY 2011-12, while filing tax return my tax filer, didn’t include relief under double taxation section 89/90 and so I have an outstanding demand. Later in 2013, I e-filed a revised return to account for the missing relief. While responding to outstanding demand under option rectification/revision filed at CPC, in addition to putting e-filing acknowledgement number, I have to upload 4 things.
1. Challan copy
2. TDS certificate
3. Letter requesting rectification copy
4. Indemnity Bond
I have the TDS certificate and challan numbers for tax remitted. Kindly advise on what is meant by “Letter requesting rectification copy” ?
I accepted the demand in incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in
Paid the demanded amount via e-pay tax link (https://onlineservices.tin.egov-nsdl.com/etaxnew/tdsnontds.jsp) uder challan 280 -> Got the CIN details from bank (BSR Code, Challan No etc).
I will check the form 26AS after a few days to see if this payment is reflecting.
But I am wondering how the payment will be adjusted against the demand raised by the department, as the payment did not involve quoting the demand identification number (except assessment year).
I am wondering how I should update this payment information in the income tax portal (incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in) against the demand identification number.
Kindly advise.
In my response, can I enter multiple Challan numbers CIN and upload multiple Challans?

I e-filed the Income tax return for A.Y. 2014-15. However, I made a typing mistake while entering the Bank Account No. The return has been processed and there is a refund. However, the refund status shows Incorrect account no. How do I correct the account no. and get refund in my account? There is a option to change bank account no. on the income tax website. I tried using that. But it gave error message.
