07 December 2009 Self adjustment in such situations are not permitted. The tax payer has to file two seperate refund claims, one for excess payment @ 12.36% instead of 10.3% and another claim for refund of double payment.

Refund is to be filed within one year from the date of payment/date of filing return as stipulated in the Excise Act.
