Any tax paid in excess can be got refunded from Govt. See Section 54 (8) (e) of CGST Act. In case you have paid through Electronic Credit Ledger, you will be allowed refund of tax via recredit into ECL and if paid in cash that will be transferred to you bank account. Apply online and submit docs to the jurisdictional Range Office.

Excess paid GST cannot be retained by the Department. It is your amount.
