Analysis
Example: a challan created on 1 October expires on about 15 October. On 21 October, create a fresh challan with the same amounts and pay. For NEFT or RTGS, the bank must remit within the validity. If you paid through NEFT after expiry, the bank transfer may bounce back. Always create the challan close to the payment date.
