Sir,

Please contact your Superintendent of Central Excise who looks after service tax matters. Only he can help you. Once you file the return on line you cannot make any correction. You can revise the return within 90 days from date filing of the same.

Sir,

I have seen that in such like situation office of the Director, ACES System, Chennai calls to the jurisdictional Range Officer either for rectification or for issuance of SCN for procedural/technical lapse. Sh.Rajagopalan Rangnathan Sir, has rightly advised you to contact the jurisdictional Range Officer at the earliest so as to avoid SCN. If you take initiative before the office of the Director, ACES System calls to the R.O., you can avoid the issuance of SCN.

I have seen ACES also send mails to assesse intimating any such error and provides guidelines to rectify the same. You can contact ACES for help.

Sir,

My client once faced such problem. The Director, ACES System phoned me to contact the jurisdictional Range Officer. Actually Range Officer has been authorized with password for such help. He opens the site and contact relevant officer. Pay and Accounts Officer and Chief Accounts Officer also have to be informed by the jurisdictional Range Officer.

The experts give a vivid picture on the query.
