If you’ve received an intimation under Section 143(1) with a demand despite having correctly paid the Self-Assessment Tax (SAT) and the details being accurately reflected in Form 26AS, follow these steps to resolve the issue:
### **1. **Verify the Intimation**
- **Review the Intimation Notice:** Examine the details provided in the intimation to understand the nature of the demand. Check if it mentions why the demand was raised despite the SAT payment.
### **2. **Check Tax Payment and Return Details**
- **Confirm SAT Payment:** Ensure that the SAT was indeed paid correctly and the payment details match with what is reflected in Form 26AS. - **Review XML and Filing Details:** Double-check the XML file you submitted with the return to ensure there were no errors in uploading the SAT details.
### **3. **File a Rectification Request**
- **Login to the Income Tax Portal:** Go to the [Income Tax e-filing portal](https://www.incometax.gov.in/iec/foportal). - **Access the Rectification Section:** Navigate to the “e-File” menu and select “Rectification.” - **Choose the Correct Type:** Select the type of rectification request (e.g., “Taxpayer Correction”). - **Provide Details:** Mention the demand amount and the discrepancy. Attach any supporting documents if required, such as proof of SAT payment.
### **4. **Attach Supporting Documents**
- **Proof of Payment:** If the rectification form allows, upload documents such as the challan receipt of SAT payment, screenshots of Form 26AS, and any other relevant documents to support your case.
### **5. **Follow Up with the Assessing Officer**
- **Contact the Assessing Officer:** If the rectification request does not resolve the issue, consider contacting the assessing officer assigned to the case. You may be able to resolve the issue by providing them with the necessary details and documents.
### **6. **Check for System Errors**
- **System Glitches:** Sometimes, discrepancies in the tax system or processing errors might cause such issues. Ensure that all system updates and reconciliations are performed.
### **Summary of Actions:**
1. **Verify Intimation Details:** Review the intimation notice for any specific reasons mentioned for the demand. 2. **Confirm Payment Details:** Ensure that SAT payment details are correct and reflect in Form 26AS and XML. 3. **File Rectification Request:** Submit a rectification request on the Income Tax e-filing portal. 4. **Attach Proof:** Provide proof of SAT payment and other relevant documents if required. 5. **Follow Up:** Contact the assessing officer if the issue persists after rectification.
By following these steps, you should be able to address the demand issue and have it resolved based on accurate SAT payment records.
