15 March 2014 Only a single return is to be filed. ALL services provided by the service provider are to be mentioned in the SAME return.

25 July 2025 Here’s how to handle ST-3 filing when you have two taxable services (like Rent-a-Cab and Tour Operator Service):

---

### 1. **Single Return for Multiple Services**

* You file **only one ST-3 return** for the quarter, covering **all taxable services** provided by you.

### 2. **Selecting Services in the Return**

* In the “Return” sheet or main section, you can select multiple services you have provided in the quarter.
* Sometimes the software UI is limited and might show only one service automatically in the “Payable Quarter Service” sheet, but you need to ensure **all services are entered properly**.

### 3. **Entering Service Tax Amount**

* You should **declare the service tax separately for each service** in the “Payable Quarter Service” or equivalent section.
* The total service tax payable in the return is the sum of service tax on both services.

### 4. **If the Software Doesn’t Allow Selecting Both Services Automatically**

* You can **manually add rows or entries** for each service in the payable section with their respective taxable values and service tax amounts.
* Make sure you mention the correct **service code** for Rent-a-Cab and Tour Operator Service.

### Summary:

| Step | Action |
| ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------- |
| File only **one ST-3** | For all services combined |
| Select **all services** | Mention in the return and payable section |
| Declare taxable turnover | Separately for each service |
| Enter service tax amount | Separately per service, sum total paid |

If you want, I can help you with the service codes and a small sample of how the entries should look. Would that help?
