No, it is not required to submit hard copy of return in the department after efiling the same. efiling is in itself a complete procedure.( This is directly confirmed from the department. )

Dear Vikas,

Please note that where the service tax return is filed electronically through ACES, there is no requirement to submit hard copy of the same. In this regard, you can refer Circular No. 919 / 09 / 2010 - CX dated 23rd March, 2010 wherein it was clarified that wherever the returns are submitted through ACES there will not be any requirement to submit signed hard copy separately.(Link http://www.cbec.gov.in/excise/cx-circulars/cx-circulars-10/919-2k10cx.htm).

Hope the above suffice.
