Income Tax demand raised even though I already paid the exact tax amount while filing ITR — what should I do?
Hi everyone,
I need some help regarding an Income Tax demand that I have received.
I filed my ITR for AY 2026-27, paid the tax amount that was calculated while filing the return, and completed e-verification successfully.
I made the tax payment of ₹2,230 at the time of filing the ITR and I have the official Income Tax challan receipt for the payment. The challan shows:
- Amount paid: ₹2,230
- Assessment Year: 2026-27
- Minor Head: Self-Assessment Tax (300)
- Date of payment: 11 July 2026
- CIN: available on the challan
- BSR code and challan number are also available
However, I have now received an outstanding demand of ₹2,230 from the Income Tax Department. The demand was raised after my payment.
how do i need to respond to this , do i need to select agree with chalan or dessagree with chalan.
does anybody faced the same issue? please help me
