   I filed return for AY 13-14 in 2013 and i got refund of Rs 780. In March 2015, i revised it and actual refund which i am supposed to get comes out to be 620. So i got outstanding tax demand of 160RS which i have to pay.

   I will do it using challan 280 (i hope i am right). But my question is how do i break this 160 into different categories like educational cess, surcharge, others, penalty etc. Kindly let me know.

   Hi,

   I’m facing somewhat similar situation to pay self assessment tax. I am confused what need to be filled up while paying self assessment tax online. The bank’s page shows some columns like Basic Income Tax, Education Cess, Penalty, etc. Now in my case, some of the tax is already deducted at source. Following are my queries after filling up the ITR-1 form.
   1) The ITR-1 form shows education cess, penalty etc. for total tax. For example following is my total tax break up.
   Tax Paid (Deducted at source)- Rs. 7447
   Tax Payable on Total Income – Rs. 22672
   Education Cess – Rs. 680
   Total Tax and Education Cess – Rs. 23352
   Interest (234/B + 234/C) – 1065 (477 + 588)
   Total Tax and Interest – Rs. 24420

   So my self assessment tax is Rs. 24420 – 7447 = Rs. 16970

   Following are my questions.
   1) What is the basic tax to be paid on bank’s website column? Is this Rs. 16970?
   2) Education cess – Is this need to be Rs. 680 or calculated separately for Rs. 16970 or left blank?
   3) Penalty or Interest – Is this Rs. 1065 or calculated separately on Rs. 16970 or left blank?

   Thanks

   Steps for paying through Challan 280.
   Step1 : On TIN NSDL webpage Select Challan 280.
   Step 2: Enter details such as a) PAN for payment of Tax. b) Address of the taxpayer c) Assessment Year d) Major Head Code e) Minor Head Code f) Type of payment g) Select the bank name from the drop down provided. TIN NSDL webpage of Authorised Bank is list of banks through which one can do e-Payment of tax.

   For individual Select 0021 : INCOME-TAX (OTHER THAN COMPANIES)
   Type of payment depends on why you are paying income tax.

   100 for Advance Tax
   300 for SELF ASSESSMENT TAX,
   400 for Tax on Regular Assessment for making any payment only when demand has been raised by Income Tax Department.

   On the payment page, you need to break up the tax payable into its components, i.e. “Income Tax” and “Education Cess” etc. There is no Surcharge for FY 2012-13 and education cess is 3%.
   So if total tax payable Rs. 10,000, the Income Tax component is (10,000 / 1.03) i.e. Rs. 9,709, and Education Cess is Rs. 291 (3% of Rs. 9709).
   Faced the same problem hence explained in detail in our article Paying Income Tax : Challan 280 . Hope it helps

   Dear Mohan, the exact amount of tax to be paid by you is already given in the Order received by you. Please pay that much tax. Please put al the amount in the tax cell itself & do not break it into cess, penalty etc.

   Thanks

   Ashal
