Mr Ajay,

Just visit your service tax jurisdictional office and inform your e mail id to them.They will send a user name and password to your id.Open www.aces.gov.in--servicetax and login to file your return. For e payment you must have net banking of nationlised or other important banks. Just click e tax and choose cbec and select relevant codes first and click submit button, you will prompted for login details. After succesfull login pay the taxes. If you have any doubt, you post here.

Dear Ajay

While your service Tax payable or paid amount exceeding Rs 1000000 (Cash/Cenvat) . You should register, pay and file your returns on electronically. It was made mandatory from 01/04/2010. If you are an existing assessee you can follow the words of our dear friend Mr CA Kanagaraj. A mail will come from ACES ADMIN which contains a PASSWORD only and there you can find a link which leads you to register in ACES. (AUTOMATION OF CENTRAL EXCISE AND SERVICE TAX). this is the procedure to register for efiing for existing assessee. If you are a new assessee log on www.aces.gov.in click service tax click new user then follow the system.

Dear Ajay,

To receive the userr id and password, you need to submit an application in ST Form 13 - "Application for permissiton to file ST-3 Return Electronically". On submission of this form, the department will send the user ID and password through email in couple of working days.

Thanks,

Ganesh.
