Combining previous ideas from Garaev and the first author, we prove a general theorem to estimate the number of elements of a subset A of an abelian group $$G=\mathbb {Z}_{n_1}\times \cdots \times \mathbb {Z}_{n_k}$$G=Zn1×⋯×Znk lying in a k-dimensional box. In many cases, this approach allow us to improve, by a logarithm factor, the range where it is possible to obtain an asymptotic estimate for the number of solutions of a given congruence.
