09 June 2009 First only one return is to be filed for each registration. A working sheet can be attached for the different options and the total fo the same dislcosed in the retrun.
In the retrun there is a facility for multiple services the disclosure of GTA can be made separately within as provided.

Filing 5 retruns is not correct and it may not be accepted by the dept. and would cause issues at the time of audit.
