In your case, you’ve entered incorrect accounting codes while making service tax payment through challan—you mistakenly:
Entered interest amount under cess code, and
Entered cess amount under interest code.
This kind of error cannot be rectified by revising the service tax return, because the error is in the challan, not in the return.
✅ Correct Procedure for Rectification
You will need to follow these steps:
🔧 Step 1: Submit a Request for Correction to Jurisdictional Service Tax Officer
Prepare a formal letter requesting reallocation of challan amounts to the correct tax heads. Include the following:
Copy of the challan (GAR-7 or NSDL copy)
Details of incorrect entries (code used vs. correct code)
Copy of your Service Tax Registration certificate
A clear table showing:
Amount paid
Incorrect code used
Correct code to be adjusted
📍 Step 2: Contact Range Superintendent
Submit the letter to the Superintendent of Central Tax (earlier Service Tax) having jurisdiction over your premises.
They will process your request and make internal reallocation in the ACES system or the current CBIC system, depending on the date.
⚠️ Important Notes:
You cannot adjust challan codes on your own.
Revising ST-3 return won't help if the payment itself is wrongly coded.
Such reallocation is common and usually allowed upon proper request.
