Excess Service Tax Payment

As such there is no specific provision for refund of Service Tax, either in The Finance Act or Service Tax Rules, 1994. However the provosions of Section 11 B for refund of central excise duty have been made applicable for service tax refund, vide Section 83 of The Finance Act.

There is also a provision for adjustment of Service Tax excess paid by any person, vide Rule 6 of Service Tax Rules. Considering the factual position of your case, you may go through the provisions of rule 6.

Rule 6 is attached herewith for your ready reference.
