I had paid ST in bank before due date.But the bank has given seal after due date ie 7th.Is we liable to pay interest for the delay of clearance on the side of bank.Pls clarify.
When we show challan date in ST return,should we show the tendering date or date of seal of bank....??

I am also confused about the payment date as in FAQ of the department question 24 it said http://cenexcisenagpur.nic.in/ServiceTax/faq.htm
"The amount should be paid to the credit of the Central Government by the 25th of the following month or quarter as the case may be"
So I think date of credit in Govt A/c is the date of actual payment and not the cheque date.

Pl have a look at CBDT Circular 261 dated 08/08/1979 reported in 120 ITR (St) 7 which is squarely applicable to Indirect tax payment also.
