Adjustment of excess service tax paid towards swatch bharat

we are liable to pay service tax as service receivers. We have paid the service tax at 14.5% instead of 14% and 0.5% as Swatch Bharat cess. How can this be adjusted while filing the returns

Separate account heads are specified for payment of Service Tax and Swatch Bharat Cess.

Therefore, the amount paid towards Service Tax and Swatch Bharat Cess  is to be paid separately under the respective heads.

Since you have already paid the total amount (14.5%) under one head, while filing ST-3, the amounts payable should be shown separately in the colums for service tax  and Swatch Bharat Cess. However the same Challan should be mention against the amount paid for both service tax and Swatch Bharat Cess.
