Analysis
Get a copy of the notice from the bank and check the DRN and assessment year. If the demand is already paid, stayed or under rectification, write to the officer immediately with proof and ask for the notice to be withdrawn. If the demand is correct, paying it quickly releases the account. Keep in touch with the officer in writing.
