Dear Sirs,
On 13.12.2010 I had paid Rs. 75000.00 towards income Tax through my bankers. Said tax was duly remitted by my bank to the Income Tax authorities / NSDL.It had been clearly mentioned by me in the challan that the tax pertained to the assessment year 2011-12 But two major errors occurred in the process.
In the first place, instead of mentioning the payment as an ADVANCE TAX in the challan, it was through oversight mentioned by me that it represented SELF ASSESSMENT TAX. This was a mistake on my part.
However, in the second place, my bank had mentioned in the challan and other payment documents that the tax pertained to the assessment year 2010-11. Since my full tax for the assessment year 2010-11 (F.E. 2009-10)had already been paid earlier within the stipulated time and I had already filed my tax return also within time (i.e. 31.07.2010), the question of the tax being pertainining to the assessment year 2010-11 (F.E. 2009-10)did not arise.
Upon taking up with my bankers for this error, I was informed by them that the online system was not accepting the details that the tax pertained to the assessment year 2011-12 and hence they had entered the same as pertaining to the assessment year 2010-11
My question is what now I am suppossed to do to get this error rectified in the records of the IT authorities? I have already written to the ITO of my ward to treat this payment as advance tax for the A.Y.2011-12 and to ignore what had been wrongly mentioned by my bank while making the payment. But I am not sure how they will respond.
Further, can any complaint to the Higher authorities of my bank help as, in case their online system was not accepting the A.Y. as 2011-12, they should have got back to me over phone or letter to clarify the matter, when I would have got the opportunity to get the matter rectified before remitting the actual payment? In what manner can this help me?
PLEASE guide me on all the above issues.
