Analysis
If your entry falls in these years and limits, it may already be gone or due to be removed. If it still shows, check the year carefully and raise a grievance or write to the officer rather than paying. Larger or later demands are not covered and should be checked on merits, because old demands are often caused by TDS credit not given or a return not processed correctly.
Close
- Note the assessment year and amount of the old demand.
- Check whether it falls within the withdrawal limits.
- If it does and still shows, raise a grievance on the portal.
- If not covered, open the order and check if it is correct.
- Respond on the portal so it is not adjusted against a refund without your view.
Check the official order details before relying on the withdrawal; limits apply per entry and per taxpayer.
