Correction of challan in e-payment is not possible. If payment is made off line, inform the mistake to the jurisdictional superintendent.

Payment in a wrong head is not a crime. In ST Circular No. 58/7/2003, the department clarified that, in case of payment of ST under a wrong head, "assessee need not be asked to pay the service tax again. In such cased the matter should be sorted with the P.A." You may write letter to the concerned jurisdictional Supdt. mentioning the wrong head and get the same acknowledged. regards
