03 May 2013 a company need to pay service tax as service recipient due to reverse charge which is applicable from July 2012. Due to some reasons they have not registered with ST authority. Now they get registered in April 2013 and deposited the applicable taxes and filed the return for the period JULY 2012 to SEPT 2012 on 30th April 2013, being the extended due date. But the system rejected the ST-3 return filed with the remark that "SYSTEM DOES NOT ALLOW FILING OF RETURN FOR PERIOD PRIOR TO THE DATE OF REGISTRATION".

Pl advise us how the assessee can file its return as the assessee want to comply the provision by depositing and filing returns for the applicable periods even though registration is late.
