24 December 2016 Hello,
I want to know the procedure to file service tax nil return.Do i have to enter the gross receipts quarterly even if i am under 10lacs or without entering all that data can we file by entering basic details by confirming on the last page of the return and generating the xml and uploading the same in the aces portal.
After crossing for example first half year my receipts are below 4 lacs there by i generated nil return and uploaded the same in aces portal and after i received above 6 lacs.Now my question is whether i have to enter all the year receipts in second half year return or only the receipts pertaining to that period. Please clarify?

24 December 2016 Turnover less than 10 lacs no need to enter data, file the return with basic details. In case of turnover exceeding 10 lacs during the year(no service tax payable up to 10 lacs for the first year) you have to enter only the amount exceeding 10 lacs in that quarter.

26 December 2016 Hello,
Thank's for the reply
I know that no need to enter the data when T.O is less than 10L but i failed to mention when the return is filed lately what will be the procedure?
when the ST-3 is filed lately then we have to enter the data. For example f.y 15-16 i have crossed 10L in second half year but i didn't filed the tow half yearly return's till now.In my opinion then i should enter the receipts in the quarter's relating to that period from first half year return and second return because if i filed the return with in due date then i may not know whether my receipts cross 10L but now i know the fact that i crossed 10 L. At this time in my opinion i should enter the receipts in each quarter in both half year returns.If i am wrong suggest me the correct procedure.

26 December 2016 Sir,
I actually filed as you said but yesterday i revised the second half year return 15-16 by entering the amounts received in the second half year return and first half return and claiming the small scale exemption in first half year return amount equal to the gross receipts and in the second half year return claiming the remaining amount which is put to equal to 10lacs both in first and second return.Is this is correct or not
