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

Ans: 01. This amount paid in excess can't be claimed as ADVANCE TAX PAID in the ITR of next year.
02. You may file Revised ITR & claim back excess Income Tax Paid, which is clearly mentioned in 26AS & AIR for the relevent financial year.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.

Hi I was alloted EE in rru . I am very confused about whether I should take the seat or not beacause they are calling for in person documents verification how is the hostel? Placements? Mess? Campus life ? Etc and I live in assam and wanted to know if its worth it Please guys reply as it is urgent since they are calling for admission within these 7 days
Ans: Hi Mega,
Please understand that based solely on your application, they have requested you to bring all your testimonials. Before applying, you should have asked the questions you mentioned. If you are not interested, someone else will benefit; if you are interested, please allow room for others.

If a stranger gives a wrong review, how will you handle that? Every person's experience is different. What is your goal—are you trying to match the course or not?

**Hostel:** Construct a house there, and then you can join the course.
**Mess:** Consider taking your mom with you so you won’t face any issues (though you might still eat unpleasant food outside).
**Placement:** Without learning the essential skills, you will not get a job. Instead, someone else may appear more qualified and secure the position.

You haven’t shared much about yourself. Are you a disciplined student? Do you have any bad habits? Do you actively participate in sports? How many hours do you spend on your education? How many hours do you spend on social media?

If the answers are not favorable, then follow this simple routine: Eat, sleep, and repeat. Enjoy life. That’s a nice solution I have provided.
