Hello.. We have been charged excess Service tax (excess amount of500) in our telephone bill. Without noticing it we paid the bill. We found this after 1 month. On asking for refund the service provider says that the excess service tax collected has been paid to govt and hence he cannot refund it.. Is that contention valid?

In certain extend this statement is valid, but more important is what they will disclose in ST-3 or any other type of adjustment. Ask to Service Provider to adjust excess service tax in next billing cycle. Thanks Pragnesh
