UHi All
My father retired 2 years ago from a PSU job. He used to get his ITR filed with the help of his colleagues when he was working.
This year he asked me to file his ITR. I noticed he has received a tax demand for around 77000 Rs. On enquiring he told me there was a mistake by their finance department in 2007-08, where they had deducted his income tax to an incorrect PAN and his salary to his correct PAN. He sent an application to the headoffice in Delhi and tried to get it fixed but the finance department only fixed his future tax deductions. He didn’t realize that and by next year forgot about it. The ITR process wasn’t digitized back then, no aadhar as well.
Next he sent another application in 2016. It was ignored by the PSU’s finance and HR. He didn’t follow up actively.
Now when I was filing ITR this year, I noticed this tax demand. We’ve sent another application to get it fixed, but it’s still being ignored. I’ve sent multiple reminders to no avail.
We’ve tried talking to the income tax office in our city, they said, they can’t do anything and only the PSU can fix the issue. I’m really disheartened with the current situation.
Over the years, this pending tax has grown by means of penalties and interests and income tax department has deducted all his IT refunds in order to cover this tax demand, and still around 77000 is pending. I’m assuming overall deductions might have crossed 2-3 lakhs. Since he’s retired now, no income is there so this demand is bound to grow further.
What can be done for the PSU to take notice of our application and fix this issue or any legal steps which I can take? Any help or suggestions are welcome.

GFile CPC rectification for the assessment year when this issue was created, add details of all types of taxes that were paid in that year , it should her revolved and that outstanding demand will be dissolved.
I was /am a noob in understanding taxes but this is something I did for myself by watching YouTube videos, my issue was also related to outstanding demand that kept on incrementing with interest for two years , in last Dec I decided to re file ITR of that year where I just had to update the values, but in your case since it happened too late in the past , you might need to get ITR rectified physically in the income tax office.
