Service tax penalty

NITHYA (Company Secretary) (30 Points)

10 February 2015  

One of our client has filed Form ST-3 for the period Apr 2014 to Sep 2014 belatedly. They have also paid penalty for belated filing of Service tax return. They have paid maximum penalty of Rs.20,000 instead of actual penalty which is Rs.2,100 only.

Whether this excess penalty can be adjusted against Service tax payments for the subsequent period.
