30 September 2009 If any Company by Clerical mistake has deposited Excise duty in Edu. Cess in wrong heag may please clarify whether Superintendent can take any action.
May please clarify whether there is any provision in Central excise act to forgive the clerical mistake?

30 September 2009 Just intimate the range superintendent with a request to carry out the necessary rectification.

In service tax matters, there is a circular of 2003, which states that such errors should by the department with the PAO. I feel the ratio squarely applies to Excise matters also.

Let us seek more opinion.

03 October 2009 Duty dposited in wrong head will tentamount to non-payment of duty. Therefore first pay the correct duty with interest immediately.

Apply for refund of duty deposited in wrong head to the jurisdictional Asstt./Deputy Comm. Of Central Excise.

Range Suprintendent does not have rights to do any correction in this regard.

You should intimate the deptt. so they may not take any action for recovery and may also suggest ways to correct such mistake.


05 October 2009 Beg to differ. The text of relevant circular is produced below.
