How to pay the demand for short deduction due to inoperative PAN?

We received a demand for short deduction due to PAN getting in-operative. I paid and created the challan for the demand amount (short deduction plus interest). I then did correction request on TRACES website and used the "Add challan" option to add the challan to the statement. I again received the same intimation that it has been processed with default and with the same amount. Am I doing something wrong?

How to use that challan to offset the short deduction?

I tried downloading the cons file and loaded that onto the utility thinking of filing a revised return. But how to enter the details on the row for that challan? The same deductee was paid three times, once in each month, July, August and September.

I am clueless on how to sort this despite having paid the challan. I have watched some youtube videos which all say to add the challen to the statement in the correction request, but it didn't work. Please help.
