CPC compares your return with both Form 16s. Double standard deduction, double 80C or a missing employer's salary leads to an adjustment and demand.

Provisions

Sec 143(1), Income-tax Act 1961 (now Sec 270(1)); Sec 143(1)(a), Income-tax Act 1961 (now Sec 270(2))

Analysis

Check the intimation for the changed lines. If standard deduction was cut from ₹1,50,000 to ₹75,000, the demand is correct; pay it. If CPC added salary already included, rectify. Respond to any prior proposed adjustment notice within 30 days.
