Hi,
In case assessment year has been chosen incorrectly by you, you may have to do below things;
- When your Income Tax Return is processed by the AO, the AO is likely to issue you a notice since the tax details do not match up with his records
- You have to respond to AO with the error in tax payment details.
- You may have to submit a rectification of a return under section 154 . (Efiling portal -> My Account -> Rectification Request).
- Once your rectification request has been looked at by the AO, he/she has the powers to make a correction in your return.
- The AO will adjust your previous year tax payments against this year’s notice and tax dues (if any).

Hi Dear,
As mentioned in my ‘answer’, you may mostly receive Notice regarding this and then you can file ‘ rectification’. You may consider taking help of a CA in this matter.
