Update Vanished after downloading

Checking for system update on the phone showed an update build no. 23.1.A.0.690 which apparently is Android Lollipop was available via PC Companion only. So I conected via PC and followed the instructions. It took a while to download the Android L update and message prompted that the device will turn off. The device then turned off and the message on the PC Companion said that there was no updates available.

Now even my PC Companion says I'm running the latest version which is Kitkat. I tried checking for an update over phone.  It says I've got the latest version. What did I miss here? Anyone faced the same problem. Or is it that Sony withdrew the update?

sony has removed the system files from their servers because it crashed due to too much load ie:too many tried updating their device at the same time  we'll have to wait for another 10-15 days for the notification to appear

It may not be Sony pulling it off their website because someone here went to Xperia Care and got the update. It's more likely India mobile operators cannot cope with the demand that may eventually shutdown their network that's why ur access to Sony has been blocked. Please check with ur mobile operators or go physically to Xperia Care to get it updared.
