How to correct mistakes made at the time of 
paying income tax – Kanakkupillai  
ITR Filling 
 If a mistake has been made while depositing the income 
tax, then such tax deposits will not be reflected in your 
Form 26AS and you will not be able to claim tax credit 
for the same. 
 It may happen that while depositing self-assessment tax 
or advance tax during the year, you may have selected 
the wrong assessment year or the wrong category of tax 
to be paid. This could lead to a discrepancy. 
Types of ITR Filing
Before we get to that you should know that there are two 
ways to pay taxes to the government: 
(1) Through physical challans at the bank branch or 
(2) Via online payments.
Here is how you can correct the errors in income tax 
payments. 
If taxes have been paid online
If you have paid taxes online, then correction in such cases 
can be made only by your assessing officer (AO). 
Step 1: Visit www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in 
Step 2: On the homepage, under the 'Quick Links' tab, click 
on AO in 'Know your TAN|AO'. 

Step 3: A new webpage will open on your screen. Enter 
your PAN and mobile number. 
Step 4: An OTP will be sent on the mobile number. 
Enter the OTP. 
Step 5: Once the OTP is entered correctly, the address of 
your income tax assessing officer will be displayed on 
your screen. You will then have to visit the AO's office to 
get the correction done. 
If tax is paid via bank branch 
On the other hand, if the payment of advance tax or self-assessment 
tax has been made via bank branch, then bank can correct certain 
mistakes within a certain time period. 
The mistakes that can be corrected by the bank are: 
 Assessment Year
 Major Head Code
 Minor Head Code
 TAN/PAN
 Total Amount
 Nature of payment (TDS Codes)
Corrections done by the bank is as 
follows: 
However, the bank is allowed to do these changes subject 
to certain conditions. These conditions are as follows: 
 Correction in Name is not permitted. 
 Correction of Minor Head e.g. self-assessment taxes 
and  Assessment Year together is not allowed. 
 PAN/TAN correction will be allowed only when the 
name in the challan matches with the name as per the 
new PAN/TAN. 
 The change of amount will be permitted only on the 
condition that the amount so corrected is not different 
from the amount actually received by the bank and 
credited to the government account. 
 For a single challan, correction is allowed only once. 
However, where the first correction request is made 
only for amount, a 2nd correction request will be 
allowed for correction in other fields. 
 There will be no partial acceptance of change correction 
request.
Conclusion :
Once the tax payer has submitted the request, the banks 
will be required to do the correction within seven days. 
Missed the deadline to get it corrected? 
If you have missed the time limit as mentioned above to get 
the correction done by the bank, then you are required to 
contact your assessing officer to get the correction done.
