Dear Suraj, For the A.Y. 2008-09 the last date to file a revised return is 31-03-2010. If you have filed your return of income for 2008-09 within the time then you can revise your return of income. You have to file revise return for the A.Y. 2008-09. Claim the refund in that return. Also submit a request letter with the ITO that the challan had been wrongly paid for different assessment year. Alongwith this letter if possible submit copy of your income tax return of A.Y. 2007-08 to show that you have not taken credit of tax paid in that year. Also enclose an affidavit clarifying the issue. Even if the A.O. does not allow the refund order then submit appeal with the C.I.T. ( appeal ) . You will surely get the refund .
