Hi
My name is Manan Mehta
Chartered Accountant working at Jhandlewalan.

I had filed ST-1 of my client last Wednesday and got ST2 certificate on Thursday.
I send my article on friday to submit the documents at the I.P Division,Mahatma Gandhi Marg but no body was bothered to take the documents there and send back my article by saying "Aj sahab nh aye hain, jab ayenge tab lenge documents" and rudely behaved with him.

I want to ask,

1. Although as per the act , we can send the documents to the division by registered post/speed post as well, SO CAN WE REALLY SEND THE DOCUMENTS BY THIS WAY WITHOUT GETTING MY CLIENT'S ST-2 AFFECTED??

2. Who is more liable for the ST2 documents?? Is it more of a liability of the deptt to take the documents or liability of assessee to send it ??

Please help.
