File the return as per duty and do the payment along with interest after filing of return.

Dear Mr. Rakesh,

No you can't adjust any levy from other head. File your return this time with short payment and pay the shortfall with interest @ 18% P.A. and such payment will be shown in next return as arrear payment.

Thanks.

You will put the duty at the time of filing of return only you will not enter the challan No. After the filing of return you will make the payment along with interest.
