09 October 2009 One of my client has paid excess service tax in first qaurter ended 30/6/09. Again he paid excess service tax for quarter ended 30/9/09. Both were paid due to wrong calculation. Total is aorund Rs.113000

What is the procedure for claiming excess amount paid. Can We adjust in the next qaurter, if so is there any time limit upto which is can be adjusted or we have to claim a refund.
