Those assessees who are registered on or after 01.07.2012 and the service descripttion is ''All Taxable Services - Other than in the Negative List' or those assessees who have amended their Registration by adding the descripttion 'Other than in the Negative List', are required to file amendment to their Registration online by deleting the said descripttion and adding the relevant descripttion(s) of Taxable Services available in the drop-down list in the online amendment Form. Only after doing so, these assessees will be able to file their return for the period July, 2012 onwards.
.
Hence, the assessees who are already registered before 01.07.2012 with descripttion of services; do not require amending their registration certificate. The ST3 will get accepted.
