The various steps of Income Tax filing are – Filing Income Tax Returns, Mailing ITR V form to Centralized Processing Cell (CPC- Bangalore) and Receiving acknowledgment for ITR V.
After receiving the ITR V acknowledgment, sometimes you may receive an email from Income Tax Department within one year of Filing the Tax Returns. This email may contain ‘Intimation Under Section 143(1).’
The intimation would show the income tax return as filed by you and the computation as done by the Income Tax Department (as below).
Income Tax Department generally sends Intimation Under Section 143(1) for two main reasons:
If it is a tax refund intimation then you don’t have to do anything. In case if it is “Tax Demand” (tax payable by you) and you are satisfied with the computation done by the Income Tax Department, then you should pay the amount of Tax payable as per Section 143(1).
In the above image, the refundable amount is zero and the interest payable amount is Rs 120. (The intimation u/s 143(1) is sent for tax/interest demand of Rs 100 and above only).
You can also login to your e-filing account and check if there is any ‘estimated tax demand’ which is due in the ‘dashboard’ itself. If there is no ‘tax due’ then it is shown as NIL and if there is a due amount then it is shown opposite to ‘demand estimated’.
Generally you are requested to pay the entire Tax demand within 30 days of receipt of the Intimation.
The outstanding tax demand can be paid online as below:
The best way to check the status of your payment i.e., whether the Income Tax department has received your payment or not is by accessing your Form 26AS. Try checking the status after 2 to 4 weeks from the date of your demand payment.
You can visit www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in. Go to “Pending actions”, click on ‘Response to Outstanding Demand’ and check the status. If your payment is received by the IT department then you may find no records. You may also check the status of your tax demand by clicking on “View Form 26AS.You will be redirected to “TDS website.” Click on “View Tax Credit –Form 26AS.” Select the specific Assessment Year and “View as” PDF format. Click on “Download.”To open the Form 26AS PDF document, you have to enter your Date of Birth (as printed on your PAN card). Go to “Part C – Details of Tax Paid.” There should be an entry with the details of your Outstanding Income Tax Demand payment (as below image). I hope this post is useful and informative. Have you received Income Tax demand notice anytime? Did you pay the taxes online or offline? Kindly share your comments.
(Add IT department’s email-id “ intimations@cpc.gov.in ” to your email a/c contacts list, if not added). For any clarification you can reach the IT dept helpdesk on Toll free # 1800 309 0130/1800 2033 5435.

My itr processing status says demand determined on 22/11 but I didn't get any intimation via email nor I can c and outstanding tax demand, how to know the demand revised by CPC. I also tried request for intimation 143(1) in e filing portal, but it says no intimation
Dear Hrishiraj,
You may kindly wait for few days. Still if you do not receive an email intimation, you may submit your grievance to the IT dept directly through - eNivaran Online Facility : Income Tax Dept’s new Grievance Redressal System
Hi there
I paid my outstanding tax online after agreeing to demand ( automatic gateway mentioning the demand ref no, AY under sec 400) do I need to do anything more as in shud I send challah to CPC or simply wait and watch . If so how much time will it take to nullify outstanding demand
Dear Hrishiraj,
You may check for tax credit in Form 26AS after few days.
If you see tax paid transaction entry in Form 26AS then nothing needs to be done from your side.

HI,
While making the payment for 143(1) instead of entering in the "interest" field have entered in "Basic Tax" and made the payment. It will be adjusted against outstanding or will be an issue ?, could you please suggest
Dear Kumar..I believe that the dues would be adjusted. You may also submit the query directly to the IT dept through online grievance redressal facility..
Kindly read this article @ https://www.relakhs.com/enivaran-income-tax-grievances/
Hi Sreekanth,
My father got a tax demand. Can I pay that using my online banking or should I use only my fathers online banking account.
Also in how many days should I pay this back after receiving the demand?
Could you please confirm.
Thanks
Dear Sam,
You can pay from either of the accounts.
Better to pay the dues as soon as possible, else you may end up paying more interest dues.
I used Challan no 281 (instead of using Challan No 280) for paying the 20% of the FD income. I got CPC demand for the same amount. May I know how to modify that, from Chanall no 281 to 280. Or how to make it to consider my amount from the channal no.281 in the IT dept. This amount is not showing in my form 26AS as of now. Looks amount went to Bank TIN no instead of my PAN no due to Challan no 281.
Could you help me. Feel free to call me on:9945281149
Dear Patil,
I believe that you can file a rectification u/s 154 online. Give complete details of your issue. This will automatically directly goes to your Assessing Officer. Your problem will get solved within few days.
Suggest you to consult a CA.
Dear Sreekanth,
I had a demand notice for 35000 to be paid, I took some time and paid off the amount but now I got another intimation from IT dept where I am supposed to pay another 350 RS as the interest.
Am I supposed to pay 350 now or should I pay extra to avoid any further notice.
Appreciate your help on this one
Dear Dilbagh,
You may clear the outstanding amount if you have received it recently. Else, take help of a CA and calculate the right due amount and clear them.
Dear Sreekanth,
I have received a Income Tax demand for Rs 10, is it OK to ignore that?
You can ignore it dear Narasimha ..
I got intimation u/s 143(1) with a Tax demand of Rs.10. Do I need to make Rs.10 tax payment or can it be ignored?
Thanks,
Ankush
Please tell me why ignore rs 10 to pay
Dear satish ..Up to Rs 100 can be ignored :)
You can ignore it dear Ankush ..
Thanks Sreekanth
Dear Sreekanth,
I received a tax demand for 11000, which is correct - so I paid it online thru the link provided in govt income tax login website. Do I need to resubmit ITR 1. Kindly advice
Dear Jayaram ..Not required. Kindly check if your payment gets reflected in your Form 26AS or not.
Hi Sreekanth,
Thanks for the reply. I have paid the amount thru the link provided in income tax efiling website (via SBI) - but the same is not appearing on my Form 26AS. Kindly advice what needs to be done.
Note: After paying tax I have accepted the demand notice to be correct also.
Dear Jayaram ..If you have paid recently then you may have to wait for few days for the amount to get reflected in your Form 26AS.
Hi Sreekanth
This is a nice article and followed this to pay my tax demand. My question is also same, do I need to file a revised return? If so under which section?
