Demand notice for TDS already deposited

Hello experts,

For 2020-21 Q4, I filed 24Q TDS return after filling all the details correctly. The TDS amount was paid on 30 Apr and the CSI file is correctly updated. However, the return was processed with defaults stating the reason that the whole TDS amount (which was paid and reflects in CSI file) is short deducted.

When I try to do online correction, I see the challans reflecting and fully consumed against the PANs.

The Form 16 and Form 26AS of the employees correctly reflect the TDS amount.

I am not sure if I am missing something or has the demand been incorrectly raised.

If the demand is incorrectly raised what is the procedure to request for review/closure?

Any suggestion would be highly appreciated. Thank you!

Raj
