[SURYAKANT MITHBAVKAR]

We are not file service tax return from April-17 to June-17.

Can we file now ?

[KASTURI SETHI]

In my view you can file ST-3 return with late fee. ACES Home has not been closed by the department.

[YAGAY andSUN]

You can file it now along with late fee.

[DR.MARIAPPAN GOVINDARAJAN]

I endorse the views of the experts.
