Dear Debashis, why would there be any necessity to claim refund?

 

The liability that you have to discharge anyways, you have discharged it under a wrong head.

 

So, where is the question of refund?

Dear Mr. Karthik ,

 

Actually  I like to deposit ST  under proper head.

Unfortunately it is not there .

Is there any way to adjust the same .

so that  payment is converted into proper head .

 

kindly advice.

Thanks and Regards
