Related Circular - 161/12/2012 dt 06 July 2012

Related Notification - 48/2012  dt 30 Nov 2012

Above mentioned circular required payment of Service Tax under code 00441089 for payment of service tax on all taxable services with effect from 1st July 2012; the Subsequent notification required different codes for payment of service tax on different taxable services from 30 Nov 2012.

Query - While paying service tax of December 2012 - all payments were wrongly made under code 00441089 (i.e. all taxable services) instead of selecting respective taxable service code in the challan.  I wish to know what will be the penal consequences of the same / how can I rectify this mistake.  Revising the return is not an options since the error is made at the challan level.  Thanks in advance.
