As per sub-rule 4A of Rule 6 of Service Tax Rules, where an assessee has paid excess servixe tax towards a particular month or a quarter, such excess payment can be adjusted by him against his liability for the succeeding month or quarter subject a celing limit of Rs.2/- Lakhs(wef 01/04/2011).

In case of assessee having centralised registration, there is no monetary limit to adjust the excess service tax paid but the same has to be adjusted against the service tax liability of next month or quarter as the case may be.
