21 April 2012 RECENTLY WE FILED A SERVICE TAX RETURN FOR ONE OF OUR CLIENTS. AFTER UPLOADING THE XML FILE, WE CLICKED THE TAB "SAVE" AND NOT "SUBMIT". A MESSAGE SCREEN THEREAFTER APPEARED IN THE BACKGROUND WHICH INTIMATED US TO CHECK FOR THE STATUS ON THE NEXT DAY.
TODAY WHEN WE THE CHECKED THE STATUS FROM THE OPTION RET-E FILING-VIEW STATUS, THE STATUS WAS "FILED".
WHEN WE CHECKED THE SAME FROM THE OPTION "RET-PRINT ACKNOWLEDGMENT RECEIPT", THE SUB-MODULE NAME WAS STATED AS "ST3 RETURN-SAVE". WHEN WE CLICKED ON THE OPTION "SOURCE DOCUMENT" THE MESSAGE STATED AS FOLLOWS :- "THE FORM ST-3 (RETURN UNDER SECTION 70 OF THE FINANCE ACT, 1994) FOR THE YEAR 2011-12 HAS BEEN SAVED SUCCESSFULLY.THE RETURN NUMBER IS ....................... PLEASE QUOTE THIS NUMBER FOR FUTURE CORRESPONDENCE.

WE WANTED TO CONFIRM WHETHER THE RETURN IS PROPERLY FILED AND UPLOADED OR IT'S JUST SAVED AND YET TO BE SUBMITTED. IF IT'S JUST SAVED, KINDLY HELP US TO CONFIRM THE SUBMISSION OF THE SAVED RETURN? THANKS' IN ADVANCE

21 April 2012 Please click submit button until your return can not said to be filed . As saving tab saves only return for future modification before filing. Again log in aces site and click submit button.

21 April 2012 however, the status bar from the option ret-efiling-view status shows the status as being filed.

We are rather confused on this point. kindly guide us.
