Sir, though the payment codes are for statistical purpose the meaning of payment in to specific account has a meaning. You have committed an error and in my view you should write a letter to your Jurisdictional Authority requesting to consider your payment as the payment which you intend to pay. They only have the Authority to consider your request. Thanks.

Sh.Ganeshan Kalyani,Sir is right.But do not worry at all. No harm will be done to you because of this mistake. There is case law for convincing to your jurisdictional Range Officer.
