Erroneous adjustment of refund against demand by CPC

Hi..I recd an intimation u/s 143(1) for AY 2010-11 indicating a tax refund of Rs 1.50 lacs. However, the CPC adjusted the same against a demand (per their record) and therefore no actual amount was received.

On verification of our records, it is found that all these old tax demands have been discharged at appropriate times (and also informed to the tax department at same time).

Thus, now this tax adjustment is unjust/ double. When contacted at the jurisdictional staff, they say that they do not have access rights to the CPC records for rectification.

What should be the way forward under online rectification?
