12 October 2009 Rule 6 (4A) and (4B) of Service Tax Rules, 1994 stated that if any excess payment of service tax, assessee may adjust such excess amount paid against service tax liability for the succeeding month or quarter, as the case may be subject to intimation of such details and reasons of such adjustments to the Superintendent of Central Excise.

As per Rule 6 (4A) and (4B) of Service Tax Rules, 1994 you can adjust the excess amount paid in the succeeding month/quarter. Further, the details and reasons for such adjustment shall be intimated to the Superintended of Central Excise (service tax) within a period of 15 days form the day of such adjustment.
