29 November 2011 I filed a ST 3 online yesterday. Now when i am checking the status it is showing as filed. But nowhere it is giving any receipt or any proof of submission.

It the return process complete or something more has to be done.

29 November 2011 'Filed' means retun is approved. Thus the return filing is complete. Download one copy, sign, seal and file before the jurisdictional superintendent.

30 November 2011 Ohh.... So we have to send it to the Superintendent also. But it is not written anywhere on the return.

30 November 2011 And if we have to do so then what is the time limit for it.

I mean we have to send it to the superintendent in how many days after e-filing..

25 July 2025 Right, here’s a quick summary based on your query and the replies:

* When you file **ST-3 online**, and the status shows **“Filed”**, it means your return is successfully submitted and accepted by the system.
* However, the **process is not fully complete** just by e-filing.
* You **must print the filed ST-3 return, sign it, and submit it physically to the jurisdictional Service Tax Superintendent**.
* According to the notification (linked: [https://www.aces.gov.in/Documents/956\_17\_2011.pdf](https://www.aces.gov.in/Documents/956_17_2011.pdf)), you typically have to submit the signed copy **within 7 days** from the date of online filing.
* Failing to send the signed copy can lead to non-compliance even though the return is filed online.

If you want, I can help you draft a reminder or checklist for the ST-3 filing and submission process! Would you like that?
