If payment service is made by him in the wrong code for range, division and commissioner you must intimate the department through application so it can adjust in the right code for range, division and commissioner and if you attached the photocopy of challan it is easy for the department

It is not preferable as practice but there caanot be denial that you have paid. What you have done is sufficeint.

AI Summary

Service tax code errors require notifying the tax department to obtain adjustment and confirm the payment. Deposit of service tax under an incorrect code for range, division and commissioner should be corrected by intimating the tax department via written application requesting adjustment; attaching a photocopy of the challan and filing the return in the correct range/division assists departmental reconciliation. Payment cannot be denied solely due to the wrong code when supporting evidence of payment is provided.
