Case: credit on input services from april 2013 to june 2013 was taken and services provided exceeded Rs.10 lacs in june 2013. However ST registration was done in november 2013.
Question: whether ST return for the 1st half year should be filed as belated return? (note: ST registration not available for that period) or any thing else that should be done?
