An assesse filed the service tax return and upon filling it came to know that challan serial number was filed wrongly. Accordingly, return was revised to correct the challan number. Later on, it was found that assesse claimed excessive deduction of property tax and deposited short amount of service tax. Thus, assesse deposited the remaining service tax and when assesse tried to revise the return, the same could not get revised.
The return can be revised only once. Hence you should always take proper care in filing the returns.
Now, the option left with you is to show the details of the amount of service tax short paid in the next return in the arrears category.
Apart from that you may also write to the Superintendent stating that the amount of service tax short paid has been paid by you so that he will be able to satisfy himself that you have discharged the service tax liability correctly.
