Is it mandatory that the service tax challan GAR 7 should be in yellow colour.Are we suppose to enclose original copy of counterfoil with return form.?
It appears that you are talking about the old TR 6 challan, which was required to be made in 4 copies. The bank used to provide 2 copies, duly acknowledged. An original copy was required to be enclosed with the return.
The GAR 7 is a single copy challan. No color prescribed. Acknowledgement copy required to be retained by the tax payer. You may attach a copy of the same with the return.
Further, in case of e payment, there is no concept of original copy. It is merealy a printout.
