For the period April-June, last date for filing ST-3 return was 25.11.2012.
However, for subsequent period, no recent notification or circular is there in place. Thus, as per Instruction F. No. 137/22/2012-Service Tax dt. 28th September, 2012 wherein it is provided that:
Data for the period 1-7-2012 to 30-9-2012 will have to be furnished in a return in a revised format. The revised format of the return and the last date for filing it will be indicated separately.
Thus, in view of above, the data for the subsequent period and the return for the same shall be intimated by way of a clarification fom the Department.

A word of caution:
In service tax, there is no provision for filing quarterly return. The Service Tax returns are required to filed Half Yearly by all the assessee, whether small proprietorship business or a huge company. However, because of major shift in taxation of service from positive list to negaitive list approach, which has come into effect from 01-07-2012, the special one time requirement for filing quarterly return for 01-04-2012 to 30-06-2012 and 01-07-2012 to 30-09-2012 has been made.
The returns for subsequent years is to be made on Half Yearly basis only.
