My FY 23-24 return shows a demand and my FY 24-25 computation initially showed a refund. I have now received an email stating that the department has “adjusted” the new refund against the old demand, but the demand itself is still under dispute. I need someone with inside-out knowledge of the Indian Income-tax Department—ideally an officer or former officer—who can show me, step by step, how to prevent or reverse this automatic adjustment. I have already tried contacting the CPC helpline and my assessing officer but received no actionable response. Key things I expect from you: • A clear strategy (portal actions, written submissions, rectification or stay request, etc.) to stop the adjustment. • Drafts of any letters or online responses I must file, in the correct format and citing the relevant sections. • Guidance on timelines and escalation points so I can act before the refund is finally closed out. Once your instructions are implemented, the demand should either be stayed or the refund re-issued in full; that will be my acceptance criterion.

As an experienced CA finalist with a strong background in taxation and accounting, I've dealt with countless cases similar to yours in the past four years. Not only can I provide you with a comprehensive roadmap to halt this immediate income-tax refund adjustment, but I can also assure you that my strategy will be backed by current knowledge of Indian Income-tax law and the correct channels to challenge such actions.

This gives me an inside-out understanding of how the system works and will enable me to guide you effectively through the process, ensuring that all legal steps are taken at the right time to prevent further mishandling of your case.

Hi, I am a practicing Chartered Accountant with extensive experience in Indian direct taxation and Income Tax portal workflows. I can review the FY 2023-24 demand, its current status and history, and the subsequent adjustment of the FY 2024-25 refund. The first step would be to establish whether the disputed demand is genuinely pending, has already been disposed of, or requires rectification/other action. Based on that review, I can advise on the appropriate course of action, including response to the adjustment, stay/non-adjustment of the refund pending disposal of the demand, rectification or other portal remedies, and escalation where required. I can also prepare the necessary submissions/applications with relevant statutory provisions and provide step-by-step guidance for implementation. The appropriate remedy depends on the underlying demand and its present status, so I would first review the relevant orders, intimations, demand history and portal communications before finalising the strategy. Since the final decision and timing of refund release are entirely with the Income-tax Department, the professional fee cannot be contingent on the refund being ultimately released. I would not guarantee the Department's ultimate decision, but I can take responsibility for identifying and implementing the appropriate procedural remedy. Best regards, CA. Sreedeep Chennamangalam

A disputed old demand adjusted against a subsequent refund requires immediate review of the demand history, adjustment communication, and available rectification or stay remedies. As a Practicing Chartered Accountant with 10+ years' experience, I handle Indian Income Tax assessments, demand reconciliation, rectification, notices, and refund matters. 1. Demand Review • Review the FY 2023-24 demand, assessment/intimation, outstanding-demand status, and FY 2024-25 refund adjustment. • Determine whether the demand is payable, disputed, already rectified, or requires further action. 2. Resolution Strategy • Assess the situation and Prepare submissions citing applicable Income-tax provisions and supporting facts. • Guide you on statutory timelines and escalation options. 3. Deliverables • Step-by-step strategy for challenging the adjustment, subject to the facts and applicable law. • Draft portal responses, submissions, and supporting letters. • Guidance through implementation and follow-up. I would not promise a refund reissue or stay without first reviewing the actual demand and departmental communications, as the available remedy depends on the order and current portal status. Let's share the FY 2023-24 demand/intimation, FY 2024-25 computation, adjustment email, and relevant portal screenshots first, after which I'll confirm the strategy, timeline, and professional fee in chat.

I can assist you with the disputed FY 2023-24 demand and its adjustment against the FY 2024-25 refund.

Hi, we are Vinayak Joshi and Mahaveer Porwal, both Chartered Accountancy students currently working with CA firms. We work with a CA firm that has a presence across 5+ states and more than 15 partners. While we will be handling this project independently and not on behalf of our firm, our experience has given us good practical exposure to various Income Tax matters. We have worked on multiple Income Tax litigations, ranging from salaried individual matters to corporate assessments and transfer pricing cases. This has helped us understand the practical side of tax litigation beyond just the theoretical aspects. Currently, I am also working on a case for a multinational company where a tax refund is being adjusted against an outstanding demand. The experience I am gaining from this matter will definitely add value to this project, especially if it involves similar issues. Before starting, we would like to understand the case properly and will therefore require the complete case details and relevant documents. It would be great to first have a conversation, understand the background, and discuss the key details before taking the project forward. We believe our practical exposure and litigation experience will help us handle this project effectively. We would be happy to discuss the case and take it forward from there.

Hi, "This is exactly the kind of Income-tax dispute I have handled — disputed demands, refund adjustments and the related assessment/rectification process." I’m a qualified Chartered Accountant with hands-on experience in Income-tax assessments, demand disputes, notice responses, rectification and appellate matters. My work has involved detailed portal submissions, demand reconciliations and representations before tax authorities. For your case, I would: • Reconcile the FY 23-24 demand with the order/intimation, challans and Form 26AS/AIS • Review the refund-adjustment communication and status of the disputed demand • Identify the appropriate route — response to demand, rectification, stay request and/or written representation • Draft technically sound submissions with relevant provisions and precedents • Provide a step-by-step portal action plan, timelines and escalation route "Since the adjustment has already been initiated, the sequence and timing of submissions are critical." I may be new to Freelancer, but not to this work — my experience comes from handling actual assessment, demand and appellate matters as a Chartered Accountant. If you share the demand order/intimation and adjustment email, I can identify where the case currently stands and suggest the strongest course of action. Thanks!
