Challan Serial Number is taken numeric - no leading zeros

Hi,

I helped file ITR1 for my relative. He paid self assessment tax and bank generated challan serial number as 00875.

However in the ITR utility offline, system is taking it as only 875. I though serial number is not numeric but full number including leading zeros. See the screenshot. Is everything OK or will IT dept take it as mismatch? They might say 875 does not match with 00875 so payment is not received? Thanks.
