Please refer to my article in TMI as per reference given below:

Please take up this issue with you concerned area officers so that this problem can be sorted out

I also have the same problem, I wrote a mail to ACES and they reply that print or view facility presently not available so kindly wait for some time.

N.K.GUPTA,

Dear Mr Gupta,

                                I have also written to them stating all  that I have stated in my article but do not have any response. Only response which was there was regarding the acceptance of returns which were filed for prior periods which were rejected. Ideally ACES should consider returns submitted by assessees as" Filed" if the same is rejected for any reason and intimate the assessee to refile again stating the reasons for rejection. One of the main reasons for rejection are " mentioning wrong notifications etc" . With complicated issues such as reverse charge and abatement notificatiions involved assessees are bound to make mistakes and returns should not be rejected for such reasons

 Same answer was given to me by ACES as given to Mr. N.K. Gupta - Wait for some time - The reason behind may be they have not yet develop the program which generate the pdf file

The filed return can be viewed under 'View Original ST3' and 'View ST3' options in the RET module of ACES with print facility after a few days (the exact date to be announced later).

Pl. do not worry. "If the status of the XML file show as "FILED"". Pl. see the running strip in the ACES site. For your ready reference I have copied it and shown above in red colors. The Dept. have clearly mentioned that they will announce the date from which date the Return can be viewed. 

Friends in my opinion we consultants are really facing a top time. We have really tried very hard to bring all the assessee for compling to file the return within the due dates i.e. 25 the April and 25th Oct.

But due to the transition period it is really a top time for us. First of all the department is not able to provide the relevant form in time, they have extended the due dates for filing the return because of this reason only, and now after filing the return, now they are not able to provided the filed copy of the Return.

This in my opinion is really very pathetic situation for all of us.

Hope we all will overcome the issue at the earliest.

thanks for your valuable reply.

AI Summary

Return visibility issues: filed service tax returns may not display immediately; await portal update or use view original.
ST-3 XML may show as filed while the filed return cannot be viewed due to portal view/generation module unavailability. Taxpayers should treat this as a visibility/technical issue, contact portal support or area officers for assistance, monitor portal announcements, and use the "View Original ST3" option once the view/print functionality is restored; rejected returns may require refiling after notification of reasons.
