ST-3 Return is required to be filed twice in a financial year – half yearly.

File an application to the jurisdictional Asst./Deputy Commissioner of Service Tax, specifying –
- 15-digit PAN based registration number (STP Code)
- Valid e-mail address - so that the Department can send them their User ID and password to help them file their Return.
(ii) Log on to the Service Tax e-filing home page by typing the address
