31 July 2012 Write a letter to your Income Tax AO for correction in challan data along with the photocopy of the challan.

Required Format for Correction of Section:

Date :..........

To
The ITO
Ward.............
.................
.................

Sub: Request for Correction and/or rectification of Assessment Year in challan.

Sir,

This is to inform you that while making payment of Self Assessment Tax of Rs.................for the AY 2012-13 i wrongly mentioned the AY 2011-12 in ITNS 280.

I, therefore, request you to kindly make the necessary correction in your records. I am also enclosing a photocopy of the said challan.

I sincerely regret for my inadvertent mistake.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

31 July 2012 Thanks Mr. Gupta thanks a lot for the info

But my concern was to know the following

1. How do i know which ITO to write to [ is it the circle in which i am filing my IT. ex. i am doing it in TDS Circle(16) ]

2. is it mandatory to do it by POST or we can do it by e-mail

3. Can i still go ahead and file my return with the chalan number???

4. Is there a link describing the whole procedure and addresses of ITOs by GOI??

Thanks in advance

31 July 2012 1) To know your Jurisdiction log in with your PAN and under service tab go to vIew My Jurisdiction.

2) Send it through post, if possible visit personally and submit the letter also get their receipt acknowledgment on another copy of the same letter.

3) Yes you can go ahead and file your return with the same challan no.

For details see below link--

31 July 2012 Thanks again.. After going through the doc it seems we can still do the correction through bank within 7 days. Should i try that first??? I think bank will be easier than doing it through TAO

31 July 2012 Yes. If 7 days have not elapsed you should try the option of rectification through bank.

28 March 2015 But based on PAN, only the range code and Ward is shown. How to get the address of the Income tax office where such letter should be submitted.

Thanks
