Intimation u/s 143(1) was received for AY 2008-09 for Rs.2,17.611/- which ignored part TDS and entire advance tax paid, which was evident from the form 26AS.
An application for rectification was made u/s 154 and thereafter a rectification order u/s 156 was received reducing the entire amount of demand to nil.
However during computerisation only the demand u/s 143(1) was uploaded to CPC Bangalore, ignoring the rectification u/s 156.
All further returns, submitted online and processed by CPC, adjusted any refunds against this outstanding demand for AY 2008-09.
In March 2012 a letter was received from local AO again raising the issue of unpaid demand of Rs. 2,17,611/- and threatening coercive action.
A copy of both the original demand and the subsequent rectification order was submitted to the office of the AO with a request to update the information on record. Receipt stamp was obtained on a duplicate copy, since AO was absent.
Now I have again received an intimation u/s 245 from CPC for AY 2012-13 regarding refund being adjusted against out-standing demand for AY 2008-09.
Can any expert kindly provide any advice to resolve this issue. Also I am currently in Bangalore and my concerned AO is in Pune. I am unable to return to Pune until June 3013.

I will advise you to submit this documents not only to AO but also at Aaykar Seva Kendra (ASK). This will be very good proof at a later stage.
Just submit Rectification Order along with covering letter to rectify such mistake.

Thank you. However, I am in Bangalore for 2 more months and jurisdictional AO is in Pune. Can anyone advise any alternate action?. Thanks & regards.
