I filed my tax via quicko. After processing I received a email from income tax stating i need to pay additional 220 RS. I paid that as well. After several months i received a mail stating i didn’t pay 220RS and additional 6 rs interest also they are asking me to pay. I raised a grievance in their portal. Below is their response and I’m not able to understand what they are telling. Pls clarify what needs to be done here.

In case of outstanding demand, tax has to be paid under minor head 400> Regular assessment and response has to be submitted by logging on to the income tax website that the demand is paid and providing challan details along with that.
I did the same and yet the reply from grievance was same as above i.e to “Dear Taxpayer, you are requested to fill the details of payments in Sch. IT/Tax payment along with AT/SAT payment details and file the revised return u/s 139(5). For any assistance on accessing the website please contact us on 1800 103 0025, 1800 419 0025, 8046122000 or 8061464700.”" Kindly help
The due date to file a revised ITR u/s. 139(5) has expired. However if you have made the payment for demand on time then you can raise a rectification request by adding that challan details in the ITR. Additional interest on demand is not required to be paid.
I responded to outstanding demand, with disagreeing with it, however I paid the challan as the due date was close and requested for a refund with the challan ID. But there’s no response and now and it says “No records of outstanding demand found” should I raise a rectification request or file a revised return?
This is a situation faced by several taxpayers. Now, as you have already responded to the demand by disagreeing with it, you will not be able to see any records under “outstanding demand”.
For the tax that you paid, you can file a revised return before 31st December to claim it as a refund.

Thank you so much for your help @Surbhi_Pal I raised a grievance and got this reply:
“Dear Taxpayer, it is brought to your notice that, once the payment collection details are received in CPC credit will be given automatically and demand will be reduced.”
Should I still file a revised return? If I file, will I get a refund for only the correction which was half the amount? or will I get a full refund which is the correction amount + the demand I paid?
For example: the mismatch was for 15000. I got a demand of 7500 while I was supposed to get 7500 refund. So now that I have paid the demand, will I recieve 15000? will I have to do anything else when I file a revised return?
You can file a revised return and include the details of all the challans that were paid by you. When the return gets processed, you should receive the entire amount i.e. 15,000 as a refund.
