Due to multiple employments in one financial year, I had tax pending which I realised only when filing returns in July. I have already sent signed ITR V and its status is showing as received(in November) but not yet processed.
Do I wait for my ITR to get processed and then pay tax as per IT department (it may include penalty) or shall I go ahead pay the tax and re-file returns.

You should deposit the balance tax together with interest and then revise the return without waiting for cpc processing status. Because as you said that tax is still payble, therefore you will receive a demand order from cpc. Hence its better to deposit the tax at earliest without waiting for the demand order.

* INTEREST SHALL BE PAID UNDER SECTION 234B(1). * REGULAR SELF ASSESSMENT CHALLAN SHOULD BE USED. * USE ITR-I OR II FOR THE PURPOSE.USE SECTION 139(5) INSTEAD OF SECTION 139(1), THAT IS SET BY DEFAULT IN THE EXCEL FORMAT.
