XML File Generation -E-Filling-ST3_July-Sept_2012

[Rakesh K Paliwal]

Now we have fill-up the New ST-3 for the period of July –Sept-2012 as it is downloaded in “ACES” .

 But after all sheets validation when we go to last sheet on tab” Validate Return & Generate XML”  then some error window displayed for ‘Validate the Following Errors’.

 One of which is mentioned below-

 “Amount of CENVAT Credit of Education Cess ( 0) entered in the Paid section does not match with the Education Cess (174257) entered as Utilised in the CENVAT Credit Utilisation section for the month One. Diff Amt. [ (E2+G4)-(I3.2.3.2+I3.2.3.3+I3.2.3.4)] is 174257”

For your  information that we have paid all the service tax by Cash and not utilised the CENVAT for payment of Service tax payment, we have utilised our CENVAT only for clearance of Excisable Goods.

 We are unable to generate the XML file from this Excel Utility.

Please advise to remove this Error

AI Summary

CENVAT credit reconciliation error halts ST-3 XML filing; download updated form and reconcile education cess entries. A validation mismatch in the ST-3 Excel e-filing utility prevents XML generation where Education Cess recorded as Paid does not match the amount recorded as Utilised in the CENVAT Credit Utilisation section. The filer reports service tax was paid by cash and CENVAT was used only for excisable goods, indicating a data-entry or form-version discrepancy. The forum advice is to download the revised ST-3 form because changes to the rent-a-cab partial reversal rules may have altered validation logic; using the updated utility and reconciling the relevant cess entries should clear the error.
