I have wrongly mentioned the assessment year as 2014-15 instead of 2015-16 in my tds challan 281. Since I had made the on-line payment through my personal computer, bankers refused to make correction in the assessment year.
My bankers have told me that they have not made the on-line payment through their computer, they wont be able to make any correction in the challan.
Had the bankers done it, the bankers could have made correction and that too within 7 days from the date of payment as per rule.
As I have to file tds return for Q-2-Fy 2014-15 during the period from 1st October 2014 to 15th October 2014 the due date being 15th October 2014, you are requested to please guide me how to get the assessment year 2014-15 changed as 2015-16 for enabling me to file the tds return on time.
Unless and until challan is corrected, I wont be able to file the tds return.
I will appreiciate your kind favour in this regard,

We therefore request you to kindly make the necessary correction in your records. We are also enclosing a photocopy of the said challan.
We regret for our inadvertent mistake.
Thanking you,
