It seems that your return was rejected due to some wrong input data.  Since, it is being treated by the department  as rejected i.e. 'No Return was Filed', then, now you can submit a fresh return, no need to file a revise return.  But you would have to deposit penalty amount which is Rs. 20,000/-

It  is my feeling that you should take up this issue with the department and take it forward. Please first of all reply saying that you had filed the return and it was rejected due to a typographical error in typing the premises code and as such the earlier return should be taken as submitted as far as all other data submitted is concerned. The mentioning of wrong premises code is a minor error and the bonafide intention of the assessee was to file the return in a correct manner. I think this issue will become more pronounced  from July to Sept 2013 return onwards as we cannot even see what has been filed by us. Please read my article on this subject for further information.

Once you  have filed  the return, you   supposed to take print out of the returm after 24 business hrs.If you cuould have noticed this  issue and same could  have intimted to department with covering letter clearing  mentioning yours return has been rejected pls advice. Then you could have save and  your corrected return can be submitted now and you will be not be treated defaulter  ,being your original return rejection date wil be before due date. But now you can file your return with correct premisess code and reply to department agaianst their letter. But they may ask you to pay penalty as per provision

Once we have filed the return ST-3 we have to take print out for the same but for the period July - Sept.2012 there were problem in master server of department itself.

This matter should take up with department officials and solve it out otherwise we have to pay penalty for Rs. 20,000/- and file new return ST-3.

Someone has to come out for the solution for July-Sept. 2012 ST-3 mistakes.
