With effect from 1st October,2011 it is mandatory for assessees to file service tax return via electronic mode. While my company is already filing the return electronically, one other company in which my friend is working, is filing the return through electronic mode for the first time.This company has been alloted the necessary user ID and pass word. However, there is a problem. When he logs on to ACES site using his user ID and password, he is unable to open the return option. would be grateful for a guidance.

Ask your friend to consult his service tax range superintendent and inform him about the problem. However,there is extension by notification 48/2011 dated 20/10/2011 to file service tax return till 26 December therefore don't panic and proceed accordingly.
