IF you are registered with the service tax department already, to get your account enabled on aces.gov.in, you need to submit some information with the department. You can find the format of such form on this website. But, if you seek a new registration number, there is a link on the aces.gov.in site. Fill that form and submit. You would get an acknowledgment, submit the documents with the department with that acknowledgment. Once your registration is approved, you can upload ST-3 returns online. Please note, all is in testing mode. Therefore, if you face any difficulty, you can contact at toll-free number 1800 425 4251

AI Summary

E-filing of service tax returns: enable your aces.gov.in account, submit required documents, then upload ST-3 online. Registered service providers must log in to aces.gov.in, use the RET option to complete and electronically file the ST-3 return and view it via the same menu. If an existing registration is not enabled for the portal, the assessee must submit prescribed account-enablement information and supporting documents (or complete the new-registration link to obtain an acknowledgment) to obtain approval; only then can ST-3 returns be uploaded. The portal is in testing mode and helpline support is available.
