Samiksha...I think that error might be due to wrong challan Identification No.. .....partcularly check the year of deposit in 15 digit CIN....so afetr correcting the same ...again upload ST-3(Original Type) 

Hey,

You can also check Challan status form ACES website under CIN details by entering BSR code, Challan number and date.

if doesn't match then contact bank they will help.

Be fast 9th september is last da

Challan Number 03009940310201300002 for the amount 32033 in H1 Section does not exist in the Database.

 

IN ABOVE CASE CHALLAN IS SHOWING IN CHALLAN VERIFICATION, IT SEEMS THAT SOON AFTER PAYMENT THE RETURN WAS FILED, WHAT TO DO, IF RETURN TO BE RE-FILED OR WAIT

first of all thanks to all for helping me out.

Sanjeev Sir, i also faced the same problem. but after sometime the error got automatically corrected. there is no need to revise the return, just wait for some time & then no such error in return will be there.

Dear Samiksha,

 

Same problem we are facing, we already filed ST-3 on 25.10.2013 & also on the same date we paid online balance Serv. tax liablity & details for challan is showed in return. But for this challans error showing  " the Challan number for amount in H1 section does not exist in the database" .already 16 days over.

In your case how much time it takes to clear the said error. Pls. hepl for the above issue.

Thanks in advance

I don't have the exact idea about that but may be it may take atleast two months

Sir,

In my opinion the following step to be taken by uoy

01. Check the Status of your challn on CES.GOV.IN and match the ST-3 Return.

02. If not tally with the challan status and you paid by you then you meet the Bank's Officer.

03. If the Bank is right way the check your hand.

04. Find the problem and Revised the said Return. You can Revised the Return within 90 days.

I also submitted various ST-3 return online and face the same error in Assessee Dataand rectify them.

 

 

Don’t submit return immediately after depositing tax wait for challan update. Deposit tax on time or before atleast 2 days from filing of return to avoid this error.       

Dear All, I have a query related to Service Tax filling. If an organisation is new and expect to have the revenue of less than 9 Lakh. The organisation has not collected any service tax from its client. Should that organisation file the ST-3 Form as there is no tax collection and there is no tax liability?
