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.

Hi Sreekanth, do I need to update ITR2 after pay challan as tax on regular assessment
Dear apoorva,
Not required, but kindly check the tax payment status in your Form 26AS..
Hi Sreekanth ji,
I have received a hard copy for outstanding tax demand. I had already paid the amount online two months back. I also have a challan receipt and same is reflected in my form 26 AS too. But under outstanding tax demand, it still shows pending amount of 9900. Is there a problem? Do I need to send the challan had copy to CPC Bengaluru or it should be fine?
Thanks,
Vyankatesh
Dear Vyankatesh,
Kindly check if you have paid for the correct Assessment year or not.
You can also submit your grievance to the IT dept through e-Nivaran portal..
You are super awesome Sreekanth ji. I have submitted the same. Honestly speaking, I never thought they would use such a pure Hindi word for resolution. Glad you pointed out. Not sure though if they would respond to these online queries.
Sending hard copy is not needed, right?
Thanks :)
Dear Vyankatesh,
I believe that there is no need to submit any hard-copy.
Suggest you to also check if there is any action to be taken from your side under 'Compliance' section in your e-Filing account.
Hi Sreekanth ji,
I have received a hard copy for outstanding tax demand intimation 143(1). I had already paid the amount online in July 2019. I also have a challan receipt. But under outstanding tax demand, it still shows pending amount of 14140.
I have already payed 14000 while filing my ITR. on top of it i have paid 140 and Partially agreed to the demand. But i can still see Outstanding amount in my tab.
Same thing happend last year as well and i disagreed to the amount and showed them the challan number. That entry is still showing up in my outstanding amount.
Can you please help me with this? What actions must be taken from my end?
Thanks,
Sanya
Dear SANYA,
Did you e-Verify your ITR?
Yes, I did that. What can be the reason of this notice?
Dear Sanya,
Suggest you to kindly consult a CA in this regard..

Hi,
I have received the intimation u/s 143(1) for ITR AY 2017-18 in which the TDS collected from employer is not considered even though there are TDS entries in Form 26AS and demand has been raised for me. Also i made a mistake in ITR as i mentioned the TDS amount in the Advance Tax section instead of mentioning it in TDS section which had lead to Tax credit mismatch. Please help me with the response to the outstanding tax demand.
Thanks,
Murali R

Hello sir,
I need some help regarding the demand notice which I had recieved few days back for AY2012-13. I followed the instructions given in the notice and initiated the payment of tax demanded. I paid the tax on my eBanking portal and challan was generated. I saved the Challan but then before eBanking platform redirects me back to IT portal, my connection broke and now I’m not sure what to do. I have already submitted the demand with “Demand is correct” selection on the portal after payment of tax. Now the question is what to do with the Challan that I received. I still see the same outstanding demand in my account on IT portal. Please advise.
Thanks,
Bhavin
Dear Bhavin,
Kindly check your Form 26AS if the Tax has been successfully paid or not.
If it is shown in Form 26AS, kindly do not worry, the outstanding tax status may be updated soon.
Hi SreeKanth,
I have filed return for AY15-16 and AY16-17 in December 2016. And e-verified the returns on 13th March 2017. I noticed Tax Payable as 25000 in the ITV - acknowledgement and paid it on 14th March 2017 before ITV is processed(intimation for demand tax not received). Kindly let me know what would be further process. Can I use the challan in future if I receive the Demand Tax intimation?
Regards,
Suneera.
Dear Suneera,
You mean to say that you have filed the ITR without paying the tax dues?
Hi Sreekanth,
Yes I have filled the ITR without paying the tax dues.. but paid it after the returns is filed. I have challan details also... but not sure where to update these details.. as proof that I have paid the tax.
Regards,
Suneera Shaik.
Dear Suneera,
You may get a notice from the Tax dept.
Suggest you to submit your grievance at e-Nivaran portal, do provide all the details about your case. The IT dept will come back to you with necessary corrective measures.
You may have to Rectify your ITR. You need to provide the tax paid details and file updated ITR.
Hello,
Very useful information. I have one query.
I have received outstanding demand for AY 2004-2005 of Rs 3414 but it is no where written that whether this amount is inclusive of interest or not? I even checked on the efiling portal, this information (about interest) is not available there also..
Currently, I am out of country and I dont have my AY2004-2005 income tax return copy with me.
Any idea?
Dear Nishant,
You may take it as tax dues and clear it.
Else, suggest you to submit your query @ eNivaran portal.
