   Facts

   If a rectification request is rejected on the portal, the FAQ allows you to send a request to the Jurisdictional Assessing Officer with your reason and a PDF attachment. You can also appeal the CPC order to the Commissioner (Appeals).

   Provisions and law

   • Sec 154 (now Sec 287)Rectification of mistake apparent from record in an intimation or order
   • Sec 246A (now Sec 357)Appeal to the Commissioner (Appeals) against orders including intimations and rectification orders
3. A

   Analysis

   Read the rejection reason. If CPC says the TDS is still not in 26AS, nothing will change until the deductor corrects its statement. If CPC simply repeated a wrong computation, for example refusing a ₹50,000 standard deduction on salary, file a request to the JAO with a short note and the Form 16. If the amount is large, file the appeal within 30 days in parallel so you do not lose the appeal route while the AO decides.

   2. 2Fix any underlying data issue first, such as TDS not in 26AS
   3. 3File Services > Rectification > Request to AO with a one page note and documents
   4. 4If the demand is material, file Form 35 within 30 days to protect the appeal
