17 March 2012 Meet the Assessing Officer and intimate him. He will correct it. If it is TDS then meet the A.O. of TDS and give him an application for correction, he will do it.

03 August 2025 Got it! For Service Tax challan deposited under wrong accounting code, here’s what you can do:
Immediately inform the jurisdictional Service Tax officer (or the officer in charge of your case) in writing about the mistake.
Request correction or adjustment of the challan amount from the wrong accounting code to the correct one.
If the amount is wrongly credited to an unrelated ledger or head, the department generally allows rectification through official communication and sometimes via a formal application.
Keep all proof of payment and communication handy to support your case.
If necessary, you may also approach the Central Excise Commissioner (or equivalent authority) for correction.
Important: This process may take time, so the earlier you notify, the better.
Summary:
Even though it’s a Service Tax accounting code issue (not TDS), the approach is to inform the concerned Service Tax authority and get the correction done through official procedure. It’s not unusual and can be sorted out with proper intimation and follow-up.
