It is one way to get the refund from the customs and pay to excise department but the other way is that you may make a request to the custom department to transfer the fund the central excise since the department is same, administration is same the only issue that who would administer. 

AI Summary

Refund of misdirected MOT charges can be sought or funds transferred interdepartmentally to central excise. Misplaced payment of MOT charges to customs instead of Central Excise creates an administrative fund-allocation issue. Remedies include obtaining a refund from customs and paying central excise, or requesting an interdepartmental transfer of the funds so customs reallocates the amount to central excise, subject to administrative consent.
