Another problem in ACES faced by many return filers

I would like to highlight your attention to the error being shown on the ACES website to various service tax assesses during the upload of the ST3 returns for the period Oct-Mar, 2013 since Wednesday. The said error is as follows:
"Uploaded XML structure is not valid, please verify the structure or log a complaint to service desk. In case you are uploading xml from return period October-March 2013 onwards, please make sure you have downloaded correct offline utility/xsd specific from October-March 2013 onwards."
The above error is being given for all the assesses and even after filling the ST3 data in the modified ST3 utility made available on August 28, 2013. The same appears to be a technical error on the website.
