22 July 2025 As per Rule 7B of the Service Tax Rules, 1994, a revised return can only be filed within 90 days from the date of filing the original return. There is no legal provision to revise the return after that 90-day period online.

However, if you need to make corrections after the 90-day window, here’s how you can proceed:

Steps to Take:
1. Draft a Letter to the Jurisdictional Superintendent of Service Tax

Clearly mention:
Details of the original return filed (period, date, acknowledgement number)
The mistake/error you want to correct
The reason for delay in revising
Your request to allow manual correction or accept a revised computation
Attach supporting documents like:
A copy of the original return
Calculation sheet showing correct values
Any relevant correspondence or proof
2. Submit the Letter in Person or via Email/Post

Submit it to the Range Superintendent of your jurisdiction.
Obtain a stamped acknowledgment copy if submitted in person.
3. Follow Up Regularly

Call or visit the department to follow up.
Politely request a hearing or personal meeting if necessary.
Note:
While the department may not legally "accept" a revised return after 90 days, they may allow rectification through manual intervention in genuine cases, especially if it leads to additional tax payment or correction of unintentional mistakes.
