This query is : Resolved
03 December 2014
Respected Sir,
I have filed the ST3 return for the FY 2013-14, but I have not correctly filed the return. I have paid excess service tax of Rs 89654/-. Whether can I claim the refund or adjust it against next payment.

Here's what applies in your case regarding excess service tax payment and refund or adjustment:
---
### 1. **Revised Return Time Limit**
* Earlier, the rule allowed **filing revised returns within 90 days** of the original filing date (as per past rules).
* Since you missed the 90-day window, **revising the return is no longer possible**.
---
### 2. **Adjustment of Excess Payment**
* Even if you cannot file a revised return, **you can carry forward the excess amount as a credit** in your electronic ledger (CENVAT or electronic credit ledger) **to adjust against future service tax liabilities**.
* This credit can be used to pay subsequent service tax dues, so you don’t lose the excess paid amount.
---
### 3. **Claiming Refund**
* Alternatively, you can **file a refund claim** with the department for the excess amount.
* Refund claims must be supported with documents and are subject to departmental scrutiny.
* The refund process can be time-consuming, so many prefer to adjust excess amounts against future tax dues.
---
### 4. **Recommended Approach**
| Action | Comments |
| ---------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| Revised Return | Not possible after 90 days |
| Adjustment of Excess Payment | Allowed to adjust against future payments |
| Filing Refund Claim | Possible but involves formal procedure and time |
---
### Summary:
* Since the revised return window is closed, **adjust the excess Rs. 89,654 against future service tax payments**.
* If you want a refund instead, file a formal refund claim with necessary documents.
---
If you want, I can help you draft the refund claim or explain the adjustment procedure step-by-step. Need that?
