You cannot adjust the excess FBT against the Income tax payable. You have to get it refund through the ITR forms

Since FBT assessments are separate ........the payment and refunds are also separate. Assessment.

Sec 115WE. (1) Where a return has been made under section 115WD,—

(i) if any tax or interest is found due on the basis of such return, after adjustment of any advance tax paid, any tax paid on self-assessment and any amount paid otherwise by way of tax or interest, then, without prejudice to the provisions of sub-section (2), an intimation shall be sent to the assessee specifying the sum so payable, and such intimation shall be deemed to be a notice of demand issued under section 156 and all the provisions of this Act shall apply accordingly; and

(ii) if any refund is due on the basis of such return, it shall be granted to the assessee and an intimation to this effect shall be sent to the assessee:
