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
I have followed your post and completed my Outstanding Tax (very helpful).
Even the amount I paid is reflected in the pdf generated but still received a mail from income tax department to to take action.
What else do we have to do ? Do we have to send the pdf somewhere ?
Please guide.
Regards
Akhilesh
Dear Akhilesh,
What does the mail say?
Did you check your Form 26AS and if it reflects your tax payment credit?
Hi Sreekanth
Thanks for the prompt response.
In form 26AS , the paid amount is reflecting under Part C - Details of Tax Paid (other than TDS or TCS ). But I received a mail "Reminder 1 for payment of Outstanding Tax Demand" from CPC.
Regards
Akhilesh
Dear Akhilesh,
Does this notice is for same FY ITR?
Suggest you to submit your grievance to IT dept through eNivaran portal.
You may give your tax payment details, notice details and check with them what else needs to be done. You will surely get response from them with next action items (if any).
Thank you Sreekanth
I have submitted the grievance. Lets see their response ;)
I got it the Intimation Reference No. , thank u
I GOT AN OUTSTANDING DEMAND NOTICE FROM IT DEPARTMENT LAST YEAR. AND FROM LAST SIX MONTHS, NEITHER I COULD PAY THE SUM THROUGH E-PAYMENT NOR ANY IT DEPT SITE HELP ME TO DO SO. BUT ON TODAY I PAID THE DUE OUTSTANDING DEMAND TO IT DEPT ,JUST ONLY FOR "Relakhs.com" STEP BY STEP PROCEDURE. THANKING YOU.
You are welcome dear DEBESH ..Keep visiting ReLakhs :)
I GOT ONE REMINDER RELATING DUE FROM MY END i.e. 26090 /- BUT I DONT HAVE SUFFICIENT AMOUNT RIGHT NOW. HW LONG I CAN DELAY THIS PAYMENT WITHOUT ANY PENALTY.
Dear SAMEER ..Kindly note that the delay will cost you more..
Hi Sreekanth,
I have got intimation of tax demand in year 2014, about tax return file 2012-13. The issue was I declared some income and self assessment tax which was paid on some date in 2014, but Bank employee put wrong assessment year. And it shows less tax paid then the declared one in tax return. So on first intimation I filed paper rectification to change assessment year for self assessment tax paid. And it was corrected. I can see that correction in form26as traces for assessment year 2012-13. They don't maintain return filed form for AY 2012-13.But the outstanding tax demand was not removed from the income tax website . I did respond for outstanding tax demand after few months saying the paper rectification putting date of that rectification. There was nothing happen for 2 years, I thought it was done but not updated on income tax website. And now in 2017, I got intimation for the same outstanding tax demand, and I respond giving details of paper rectification of self assessment year correction. I suspect whether they maintain any documents or details for paper rectification to look at for my response for outstanding tax demand. This time I responded twice and second time I choose disagree with the demand putting the self assessment tax paid receipt details also. I don't know what to do now. Can you suggest anything more to do? so that the outstanding tax demand intimation not come again.
Thank you .

Dear Tilakkumar,
Suggest you to put a query on e-Nivaran portal about this tax notice, you will get a property reply from the IT dept.
Dear Sir,
I received an outstanding demand for 6990/- from CPC.
I have paid Rs 7000 as self assessment tax for my FDs before filling the original ITR2 (2016-2017) itself
and ITR2 also showed that Tax Payable as "0" which was uploaded.
But i l got the same amount demand notice from CPC.
Please advise.
Dear Sir,
I noticed that I put minor head as "advance tax" instead of "self assessment tax" while filling the Chalan
for self assessment tax for Rs 7000.
This seem to be the reason for demand.
How do i go about correcting the Chalan filled more than 6 months back now
Thanks
Dear Pervinder,
Kindly go through this article on 'Challan correction mechanism'.
I have paid the outstanding demand online soon after efiling. However I have been notified of the same amount plus interest. How do I get this sorted
Dear Tina..You need to pay the tax dues first, provide the tax paid details in ITR and then e-file the return. You may rectify your tax return.
However , I am talking about Outstanding Demand that is calculated only at the time of filing.
Dear Sreekanth,
I have changed my company in the month of July 2016 and joined a new company.
I wanted to transfer my PF amount, could you please help me with the process how to transfer the PF amount.
Thanks
Shyam
Dear Shyam..Kindly go through this article : OTCP UAN portal for EPF transfer claim request..
Hi Sreekanth,
When I check my eligibility to initiate a transfer, I am getting the below message.
SINCE PREVIOUS ESTABLISHMENT ID IS NOT REGISTERED AT THE PORTAL, YOU CANNOT FILE THE TRANSFER CLAIM ONLINE. IT IS ADVISED TO SUBMIT PHYSICAL CLAIM THROUGH PREVIOUS OR PRESENT EMPLOYER.
Can you please help me out with the process to initiate the transfer from my end.
Regards
Shyam
Dear Shyam ,
I assume you are referring to EPF transfer claim..
You can submit EPF transfer claim form to your present employer and they will do the needful.
Dear Srikanth
Today 15 Dec, 2017 at around 8:30 PM, while I was paying the third installment of advance tax, I found that OLTAS only allows to make transaction uptil 8:00 PM of the day. Now please guide me how should I proceed since I do not want to incur interest penalty under section 234. Can I get to pay the TAX by some other means by today itself?
Correction 2016*
Dear Madhusudan,
I am not sure about this.
Were you able to pay the advance tax?
Hi Sreekanth
I couldn't pay it on that day, the transaction got scheduled for the next day.

Could you please provide help on this.
Thanks

Hi Srikanth,
I have query about paying tax. For AY 2016-17, I have filed IT return after the due date ,During this time in returns it is showing 32thousand to pay tax. I got a defective return notice, for that also i have replied and uploaded the xml file .
I was not to sure when to pay amount but i have filed returns. I thought it will be deducted from account but it didn't happened.
Now I have paid amount through net banking.
Should I need to file returns again ? Could you please clarify
Dear Vishnu,
One needs to clear the tax dues, include the tax paid details in the ITR and then has to upload the Xml file. This is the process!
If you have filed the belated return now after paying the dues (assuming with penalty/interest dues), kindly verify your ITR or send ITR V to CPC Bangalore address at the earliest.
Read: What is Defective Return? How to reply to defective return notice?
Hi Sreekanth,
Thanks for the reply, I have e-verified the returns after returns filed.
Now I paid tax. In this case what i need to do.. can i verify again?
Dear Vishnu ..If you have filed return in response to Defective return notice then e-verifying again is not required.
Thanks Sreekanth, I have checked Form 26AS , amount is apperaing in the tax section. Should I need to do anything my side.?
Dear Vishnu ..You can keep a track of ITR processing status. If you face any issue, you may use e-Nivaran online grievance redressal system of IT dept.
Thank you so much for clarifying the queries.
