More s. tax paid than actual

In case the amount of Service tax has been paid in excess there are two options being available to the Assessee -:

1. Self Adjustement of Service tax against future tax liability .

2.  Service tax Refund only if Self adjustement is not possible.

Since the assessee has paid excess service tax in 1st Quarter for A.Y 2012-13, he can now adjust the same in next quarter and pay the service tax on Balance Amt.

The assessee shall reduce his actual service tax liability of Next quarter against the excess rather than using the same challan number as said by You.
