23 October 2010 A person(individual) gets service tax registration number in july 2010 (say).

However he is renderring services from start of the F.Y i.e., April 2010.Also he uses taxable input services in renderring such output services.

He is paying the service tax amount along with interest for the two quarters Q1 and Q2 of F.Y 10-11 in october 2010.

Can he avails the credit of input services which are used by him in months of april, may and june (i.e., before obtaining service tax registration number).

Is it mandatory that the assesse should possess ST reg.no at the time of receipt of input services to availd creidt of service tax on such input services?

Please quote any referrence sections.

Note: All bills of input services were paid by the said individual.

23 October 2010 Is it not mandatory that the assesse should possess ST reg.no at the time of receipt of input services to avail creidt of service tax on such input services

& he can very well avail the credit of input services which are used by him in months of april, may and june (i.e., before obtaining service tax registration number).

19 July 2025 Service tax registration is mandatory before availing input credit on input services.
No credit allowed on input services used before registration date, even if service tax is later paid with interest.
