The person has paid service tax @ 12.36% but the rate applicable at the time of rendering of service would be 10.3%. So can he claim refund of the excess service tax paid?

Jignesh , he cannot claim a refund as Service tax is will be attracted for money received in advace or serice rendered ( which ever is earlier ) . In this case he cannot get refund and he will be attracted with 12.36% for the advance paid amount only .
