I have gone through your expert guide on Rediff.com. Kindly deliver your advice in my case as well. Thanks Sir.

I am a salaried class employee and filed ITR 1 for FY 2019-20 in Aug 2020. Inadvertently, I paid self-assessment tax twice through online (Rs 17,000 paid twice amounting total of Rs 34,000).

I wrote to the IT deparment for refund of the excess amount of Rs 17,000. The IT department advised me to file rectification online through my IT account. I tried in vain.

Kindly guide me in this regard.

I am a retired male senior citizen. I filed my income tax return for AY 2022-23 in form ITR-1 on 22nd July 2022 with NET Taxable income of 427200 with a mention of 5070 for rebate under 80 D towards my mediclaim insurance annual premium. Before doing the e-verification on line through Aadhaar linkage I noticed that my actual mediclaim insurance premium is 7070 which I had erroneously mistyped as 5070. So instead of e-verifying my above erroneous filing I filed a Revised Return on 20th August 2022 correcting the 80 D rebate claim to 7070 and the Net Taxable income became 425200. I e-verified this Revised Return immediately on line through Aadhaar linkage. Within 2 days of my filing this Revised Return I got an assessment Email from Income tax department where they have treated this Revised Return as Late filed Original Return and imposed a late fee penalty of 1000 and issued a Refund Order of my TDS. As such on my Net Taxable income of 427200 as per Original Return or 425200 as per Revised Return Income Tax is '0'. It appears that since I didn't e-verify my Original Return they have treated Revised Return as Late filed Original Return and imposed late fee of 1000. Now I am getting repeated emails from Income Tax department that I have not e-verified my Original Return of 22nd July. Can I e-verify my Original Return now and claim Refund of the 1000 Late Fee deducted by them? Shall be grateful for guidance and advice.

I'm a salaried individual, used ITR-1 to file returns on July 29, also paid the additional tax liability of Rs 40000 as Self assessment, but couldn't submit it due to technical issue. Since then I've raised 3 tickets to helpdesk. Now, the tax liability is showing as Rs 74000 when I file again choosing after due date option.

I have filed my itr2 recently with residual unpaid tax liability of rs.9856 out of total tax liability of around rs.54234 for ay 23-24. The ITR2 has since been processed by the deptt and a demand notice of full tax amount sent to me without any adjustment for tax paid as per as26. I have subsequently filed a rectification request on 17thJuly23 which is still pending with the dept till date. Kindly advise further course of action on my part. Mukul

Sir, While filing the return for AY 2024-25, I had, by mistake, paid the balance of tax amount and TDS i.e. Self-Assessment Tax twice through online procedure. Both these amounts appeared in AIS under different BSR Codes and challan numbers on the same date. In the return, obviously, only one of the amounts had been entered and hence only one of the amounts was accounted for in the tax calculations while the other amount remained unaccounted, though appearing in AIS. The return has been duly processed under 143 (1) with no demand- no refund. Now, the question is- how can the unaccounted and unused amount appearing in AIS for AY 2024-25 shown as Self-Assessment Tax can be utilised for the next AY, viz 2025-26 as Advance Tax? What procedure should be followed? Alternatively, can this unused amount be claimed as a refund, through a revised return showing both these amounts or a rectification return would be appropriate? Shall be grateful if you kindly guide me as to how to do this. R M Khatsuria, Pune
