Hey! Once you file your service tax return (ST-3) online on the ACES portal, the **status usually updates within 2 to 3 working days**.
### Where to check the status?
* Log in to the **ACES portal** ([https://aces.gov.in](https://aces.gov.in)) * Go to **‘View Service Tax Return Status’** or **‘Return/Refund Status’** section. * Enter your **Registration Number** and **Return Period**. * It will show whether your return is **Accepted, Rejected, or Pending**.
If the return is rejected, they usually provide error details so you can correct and re-submit.
If you want, I can guide you step-by-step on how to check it online. Would you like that?
