ST3 RETURN SCREEN

One month data can be entered at a time. After data entry for one month press the save button

at the bottom of the page. The screen will now be blank for data entry of the next months data.

Even if no taxable service has been rendered during any month, values for the month have to be entered as 0 (zero) and saved.

Please go through the User Manual for further details on data entry and for filing a amended return etc

TR 6 CHALLAN SCREEN

YYYYMM column is not for the month/date on which payment is made but corresponds to the period for which the payment is being made.

The challans should be serially numbered financial year wise. No challan number should be repeated during the financial year.

CONFIRMING THE RETURN

To confirm the ST-3 form, press the ‘confirm original ST-3 form’ button.

If the ST-3 Return and TR-6 Challan data do not match the system does not confirm the Return

If it matches the system generates an acknowledgement number as a confirmation of the filing. Once assesse gets an acknowledgement number, it implies that the ST-3 return has been filed.
