14 April 2016 Dear Sir,

I am filing my Service Tax return after due date and I have paid the late filing charges.

Only difficulty I am facing in which period I must put the late filing amount in Form ST-3.

eg: Apr-Jun or Jul-Sep

15 April 2016 The Late Fee should be paid in the last period of the return i.e. September month or quarter. Similarly for the Return due in April, the entry should in March.

15 April 2016 It usually takes three to four working days for the Challan to be reflected in the system. Nothing to worry, since when your Range Superintendent checks up your return, the payment would be reflected in the system.

20 April 2016 Late filing penalty becomes after 2nd quarter for ST 3 filing of Individual, for Others last month of that period. Need to enter amount in that column.

Wait for 5 days to get ACES data base updated with that challan then file if due date is not over. Otherwise file the same & ignore that error while filing
