Payment under wrong accounting code is a clerical error. As long as the payment is made under the correct STC (assessee code) and full duty is paid - there is nothing to worry. However, to keep the records straight file a petition (simple letter) to the Range Superintendent / Divisional AC/DC stating the facts, enclosing the Challan and requesting that credit be given in the correct accounting code (to be stated in the letter) instead of the code (as per challan) under which paid. The Department may not even acknowledge the receipt of the letter, but a stamped receipt on the copy of the letter will suffice, in case any claims are raised in the future (most unlikely).
