Return scrutiny framework mandates preliminary and risk based detailed checks to validate self assessed service tax returns and refer discrepancies. A two-tiered Return Scrutiny Manual requires preliminary scrutiny of all service tax returns for completeness and arithmetic accuracy, and detailed scrutiny of selected returns-chosen by risk parameters-for issues of classification, exemptions, valuation and CENVAT credit availment; scrutiny officers validate returns and refer findings to audit or anti-evasion wings, and manual procedures and prioritisation rules apply until an automated ACES module is operational.
