In the challan service worksheet, the "source document number tab " is not taking the serial no of the challan paid into the bank. It is showing an error " the source document no is not in the correct format ". There is no comment also to show the correct format of the numbers to be put into. Please someone guide me on this issue.

Hi,
In case where a service tax provider enjoys a specific rate of abatement under the rules, so does the amount computed of Service Tax to be payable after calculation of such abatement needs to be charged to the customer? For Eg.: Under Construction of Residential and Complex services, if the provider enjoys abatement @67% (Rs. 17,42,000/-)on Gross Amount Charged of Rs. 26,00,000/-, how much should the service provider charge to the buyer or receiver of the service? To brief it up, what should be the billing amount to the service receiver and amount to be paid?
Thanks and Regards

To all members,

After uploading service tax return online, whether the challans serial number mentioned in the return are confirmed online by cbec site with the respective banks ?
