27 April 2016 The excess tax paid of Rs.24,354/- should be reported as advance payment in Part C of the ST - 3 Return for the period October 2015 to March 2016.

This amount can be short paid in the period April to June 2016. In the Return for April to September 2016, this advance amount should be shown as adjusted under Rule 6(1) in Part D of the ST - 3 Return. Proper disclosures should also be made in Part H.1. & part H.2. in the challan services and source document of the ST - 3 Return of the period April to September 2016.
