  1. I submitted my self assessment 2017-18 return without paying tax(10840-9800tds=1040balance). Now how can I pay balanced tax. I have to pay through challan 280 online Or they can adjust this tax with my last year refund.

    1. The refunds for last year would have already been credited to your account, if you filed it within time limits. Also its always good idea to pay all balance taxes and file returns! If you have not paid pay it immediately using Challan 280.

  2. I have paid a total Self Assessment Tax of Rs 814/- (Basic Tax Rs 790/- + Education Cess Rs 24/-) for AY 2017-18. What amount should I put as Tax Paid (column 4 of IT Details of Advance Tax and Self Assessment Tax Payments) in ITR-1? If I input Rs 814/- in that column the system calculation is showing Rs20/- as Refund (item D13 of Part D). Do I then put Rs 790/- (basic tax) in the Tax Paid column? Moreover, do I have to pay any interest on the Self Assessment Tax?

  3. Very informative article but i am not able to get the answer to my query,
    I had e verified the ITR and then realise that it still shows tax payable so i immediately paid the payable amount through challan 280.

    How can i update my itr to adjust this tax amount.

    I NEED BSR CODE AND SERIAL NUMBER OF CHALLAN

    I do not find BSR CODE AND SERIAL NUMBER OF CHALLAN in my net banking e tax menu , shall i get it after few days . can i get it immediately.

  5. I have paid my tax through ICICI credit card and the transaction was sucess. But after filing my return for 2017-18 even after payment of the correct payable the return is showing tax payable for the amt which I paid kindly advise

    1. After you paid you need to make an entry of the payment in ITR Form. Once you do it would not show “Tax payable”

  6. I am not having net banking facility to pay challan 280. please explain in details about filing and paying challan 280 by offline. what should do after this offline payment through bank whether do I have to update anything with this counter foil ( if yes give the link to update) or the bank would do this?

    1. You’ll need to fill up the details in your return form. So keep the counter foil handy. Also the above payment would be reflected in your Form 26AS in a weeks time but you can file your ITR before that too.

      1. what should do after this offline payment through bank whether do I have to update anything with this counter foil ( if yes give the link to update) or the bank would do this?

        1. Bank would pass the information to income tax and subsequently get updated in Form 26AS. If you need the same to file returns note down the details.

  7. Ravi Shankar Pritam

    After online payment of Self assessment tax do we need to wait for it to be updated on it website.
    Or we can directly file the return by manual feeding of the challan details.
