Income Tax Department Enables Online Challan Correction Facility
The Income Tax Department has launched an Online Challan Correction Request facility on the e-Filing portal, allowing taxpayers to correct common mistakes in tax payments such as wrong Assessment Year, Tax Year, Major Head, or Minor Head. The facility is available for eligible unconsumed challans from AY 2020-21 onwards and must be used within specified timelines. It helps reduce errors in tax records, prevents issues in Form 26AS and AIS, and simplifies income tax compliance through a fully digital process.
