04 May 2011 We have paid the service tax by quoting wrong assessee code and made the payment in our other group company. Both the assessee under the division & range. can we adjust the amount so excess paid as payment and want to adjust the liabilities for company which it belongs to.

Further, We can issue to NOC for quoting wrong assessee code to the department.

Can any one provide us the case law for same to satisfy thesuperintedent?

15 May 2011 not possible under indirect taxes atleast.

as the wrong code remains your own group company, u are saved, otherwise it was loss of money at all

now pay the amount again in correct code and show the excess paid in 2nd unit, where u would be able to adjust the amount in forthcoming service bills.
