The latest ST - 3 Excel Utility downloaded (for returns from October 15 to March 16 onwards) does have this row in Part B - Row B 1.3. It is under the third proviso to Rule 6(1) that assessees (proprietorship / firms) with taxable turnover of Rs.50,00,000/- or less can pay service tax on receipt basis. Hence the amount should be shown in Row B 1.3, as there is no other place to show such receipts.
