What to do after paying outstanding income tax demand

A B Kundu (Professional) (1422 Points)

14 January 2018  

A person has filed his return of income manually for the AY-2016-17 against which a demand notice has been issued u/s 143(1). The person has paid the tax through over the counter mode at the bank by filling up the challan manually. As the return was filed manually, in his profile at e-filing website the details regarding this particular AY is not showing. The intimation U/s 143(1) was received at home and it can't be understood whether the demand has been vacated after paying the demand tax.

Now, my query is what to do after this?

Does he need to intimate the department with a request letter for nullifying the demand along with the copy of the challan?

Or, he needs to file revise return for this AY?

Or, he has to go to the respective jurisdictional officer along with the challan copy and request letter?

Or, nothing has to be done after paying the tax and automatically the demand shall be vacated.

 

Thanks
