Submit a letter to jurisdiction service tax Asst/Dy.Commissioner by explaining the error of challan code and request them to treat the payment against correct codes. Enclose challans with that letter.

Please refer ST Circular No. 58/7/2003 20th May,2003. The circular says, paying Service Tax in the wrong accounting code would not invite any problem to the assessee as the Service Tax has been appropriately remitted to the government. The said benefit is given considering the procedural non- compliance and not bringing any revenue loss to the government.

You can claim Refund only and also have to deposited the same amount which is wrongly deposited by you. Refund is allow only prescribed period.
