Dear All,

As we all know that all assessee has to file their return online, therefore I tried filing a return. I found a difficulty in the return. In the service tax paid challan details sheet, " the source document number tab " is not taking the serial no of the challan paid into the bank. It is showing an error " the source document no is not in the correct format ". There is no comment also to show the correct format of the numbers to be put into. Please someone guide me on this issue.

Best Wishes,

Kunal Mangal

Correct format is BSR Code+Date+Challan serial No.

Eg. Suppose BSR Code is 0391010, Date: 05/05/2011 and Challan serial no. 00012

Then in return u hav to show it in this way: "03910100105201100012"

4B refers to the payment of ST made on advance received basis, on which service is still due, balance format is same as advised by pinky

Dear Sir,

Your are referring to the advance payment worksheet but i am referring to the "challan service" worksheet. In the challan service worksheet, under the GAR - 7 Challan details, there is a tab for source document no to be put into, please guide me on the above matter.

a) All the fields marked with asterisk (*) are mandatory and the same are to be filled before proceeding further.
b) Wherever required, data must be in correct format. For example
	(i) Challan no to be a 20 digit number consisting of, 7 digit BSR code, 8 digit date of tender in the format “ddmmyyyy” and 5 digit challan no. For example, “12345670112200812345”
	(ii) Wherever columns are available for providing Quantity, decimals upto two places only are allowed.
	(iii) Columns where Amount is to be provided, only whole number is allowed. https://www.aces.gov.in/Ret_FAQ.jsp
