Understanding the Setup for the ST-3 Form

The ST-3 form is the semi-annual service tax return that must be submitted to the Government to report information about transactions that you processed, and that included service tax. You use the Form ST-3 Setup program (P75I790T) to select options for sections 5A, 5AA, and 5B; and for options under rule 6(3). You also specify the value of exempted goods and services, the amount paid using CENVAT credit, and the challan number and date of the payments.

The system saves the information that you enter to the ST-3 Setup File table (F75I790T), and reads the information in this table when you run the Form ST-3 report (R75I790).
