How to fill in the ITNS 280 challan for a deceased person? The IT department has raised a demand pertaining to AY 2003-2004 & 2006-2007 for a person who expired in March, 2014. The last Return was filed for AY 2014-2015. My query relates to the old demands which have been raised by the IT Department:
a) What name should be mentioned in the ITNS-280 challan? The name of the deceased person on whom the demand has been raised or of the legal representative/heir?
b) If we have to mention the person's name in the challan, should we write/type the name as ABC or (Late)ABC? Is the prefix "(Late)" essential/advisable?
c) Should the deceased person's PAN be mentioned or that of legal representative/heir?
d) Minor head code 400 is to be mentioned. Is this okay?
e) The AY to be mentioned on the challan will be the AY for which the demand has been raised, that is, AY 2003-2004 & 2006-2007 respectively. Right?
f) It is better to make online challan payment so the question of "who should sign" the challan does not arise.Right?
g) Once the payment of both the amounts has been made, will the CPC (which has sent Intimation u/s 245) automatically come to know that the payment has been made? Or, will we have to take copies of the challan acknowledgements, make covering letters and submit the same with the "Jurisdictional AO" to get the demands nullified? (26AS for AY 2003-04 & 2006-07 are not available; hence I'm referring to the challan acknowledgements.)

Dear Mr.Siddhartha, the demand has been raised by the jurisdictional AO and informed to CPC, Bangalore for "adjustment" against the latest year's refund. What is your advice?
(From your reply it appears that the legal heir has no role in filling up the challan and paying the tax. Am I right?)

Since the demand will be adjusted against the refund, there is no need to pay it separately provided the refund amount is sufficient to meet the demand.

Dear Mr. Siddhartha, if the Refund falls short of the Demand raised, only the difference in tax amount is to be paid online by challan. This will close the chapter finally. Am I right?
Pay the entire demand through challan. Then login to your efiling account. Select e-file then select Response to Outstanding Tax Demand. Select tax already paid. In this case the full refund amount will be granted.
