point wise answer to above is as under

yes ,you should deposit separate challan for balance amount .

procedure and method of revised return for above problem is given below
one number challan should be added through your correction software.means in your software select add new challan.In this case deductee detail will automatically opens.

In deductee detail correct the amount paid of concerned party as shown in earlier etds return to 50% as earlier shown in that case, show date of deduction and date of payment same and date of deposit as shown in earlier deposit and correct the rate of tax deducted as 10%.

Add new deductee detail ,in which show amount paid 50% as reduced /deducted from above entry and date of payment as as shown in old date of payment, date of deduction as new date of deduction(Q3) and tax deposited as per new tax deposited and rate of deduction as 10%.

In this case enter challan for rs15450 in both the quarter for full amount in challan detail.In deductee detail of q3 give detail corresponding to amount 10300 and in q1 revised /correction return enter challan detail of 15450 with full amount and in deductee detail do as per point 5 given above.
