While filing ST - 3, show the Service Tax and SBC separately. Part H of the ST - 3 Return seeking challan details only requires the period, challan (CIN) number and the total amount paid - no break up is sought.
Write a letter to the Divisional AC explaining this error and seeking rectification along with a copy of the challan. The application duly recipted is sufficient evidence that you have paid the needed tax though under a wrong accounting code.
