ITRU Rectification Request Pending

[Sachin]

I filed an ITR-U for Assessment Year 2024–25. The self-assessment tax was fully paid under minor head 300.

However, while entering the challan details in the utility, the date of payment was entered incorrectly as 8 July 2025 instead of 8 March 2025. Due to this date mismatch, CPC did not consider the tax payment, and a demand was raised on 8 December 2025.

To correct this, I filed a rectification request under “Tax Credit Mismatch” on 12 December 2025, with the correct challan details. The rectification request is still in “Submitted” status.

Additionally, I am unable to respond to the demand with disagreement on the portal due to error code ITD EXEC 2003. A grievance has also been raised for this issue, but no response has been received so far.

At this point, I am stuck and unable to take any further action on the portal. Please let me know what should be the next steps.
