We have depoisted monthly service tax payable on renting of immovable property. By mistake on each challan we have mentioned A/C Head of tax "00420496" instead of "00440406". Now, department is refusing to take monthly return saying that your service tax not deposited in respective account. and we have not received service tax. What remeady is available? Please guide.

The first action is to record that the returns were not accepted in the retrun itslef or in the covering letter. Then send the same by registered post. Also mention that in future all retruns wouldbe sent by RPAD as there is difficulty in filing experienced.
Then a separate letter maybe made stating that there is a clerical mistake made in the challan and that the same maybe noted and condoned.
When the revenue has recived the monies the objection can at most be only technical.
