Excess amount of duty paid cannot be retained by the Govt. You are to file refund claim within time limit. In this situation, in my view you are required to file refund claim with jurisdictional Customs office where the duty has been deposited along with the documentary evidence.

Deposition of GST through manual challans are not allowed. Either you need to avail refund or need to take ITC. But seek refund only.
