Analysis
Use e-Pay Tax, choose the assessment year being updated and the correct type of payment as shown on the portal for updated returns. Note the BSR code, date and challan number. If you pay under the wrong head, getting it corrected through the officer can take weeks. Recheck the year and head before paying.
