I have two outstandig tax demands:

[1]

Section 220(2) Rs 5000 - There is no way to pay this. I suggests that it will automatically be adjusted against refunds.

QUESTION: I have no refunds planned for this year - so how will Rs 5000 be adjusted then? Should i just pay some extra advance tax so that a refund is created ?

[2]

Section 143(1) - Rs 20,000 - I was paid this many years ago, and also provided details with Challan #, BSR Code etc.. online.

QUESTION: Even after so many months/years this demand refuses to go away. I am at loss what to do with it.

(Both of these pertain to years when online filing was not available, i have visited IT office - but they don't care to do anything).

In case of tax paid of Rs.20,000/- it is possible that you may require to do challan correction, check the challan status from TIN NSDL site.

Thankyou all for your responses.

I have already written many letters to AO, even visited personally 3 times, received acknowledgement too each time - about the letters - BUT - they just don't act on it. Even if i visit again - they will say give letter and go away - thats all.

Should i just leave these as-is, and not bother? I need 'practical' tips on what to do now - if anyone can help. Anyone else in similar situation?
