Rule 6(4A) of Service Tax rules. Without limit, you can adjust , but only against the liability of next month/quarter.

Yes I agree with Nair sir's view, you should have intimated the department at the time of paying the excess amount of tax, Also after adjusting the same there has to be a communication form your end to the department. Since you have not made either of them the said adjustment made will be considered as ultra virus and both interest and penalty will be imposed on the same. Kindly deposit the said amount alongwith appropriate interest with an intimation to the department for the same to safeguard against yourself from penal provisions which can be as high as 200% of your tax liability.
