For the AY 2010-11, There was an Outstanding Demand on the e-Filing website.

On June 7th 2018, on the e-Filing website, I paid the outstanding demand.

On June 12th, 2018 I received an email from SBI stating that the outstanding demand has been adjusted against my refund for the AY 2017-18 ITR.

On June 7th, 2018 I was not aware of the fact the outstanding demand amount was deducted from the refund as the refund status just said that “Refund sent to Bank”. I thought I will get the full refund so I made the payment for Outstanding Demand.

So, now the demand has been paid online and also deducted from my refund.

What should I do to get my refund?

My AY 2016-17 ITR is still not processed...So, while processing my AY 2016-17 ITR, Will the AO be able to know that I made the payment and include that amount in 2016-17 refund? or Do I have contact them?

Please let me know.
