I want to add a challan at traces, but after going through the process the process is stopped at “SUBMITTED TO ADMIN”. On enquiring with Traces they replied that for this you have to do this from ADMIN level. In this connection, I am already change authorized person detail in Profile tab of traces, which is same as conso file. But I cannot get a solution to the said issue.
Please help me.
You have to submit it for processing. After that, it will be reflected in your conso file.

Sir, I got demand for late penalty u/s 234E Which I paid online. But when I am going to add Challan under Correction request/track correction request I can not see the challan.
