(iv) Details of the main Bank Account.

Suppose applicant has not opened bank a/c yet as bank person also asks for registration certificate copy for opening of bank a/c no.

(vii) Business transaction numbers obtained from other Government departments -

Suppose applicant is not liable to obtain VAT no as he is job work provider

20 July 2025 Here’s a clear explanation for your queries regarding the updated Service Tax registration procedure as per Order No. 1/2015-ST dated 28.02.2015:

1. ST-2 Certificate Issuance within 2 Days
The order mandates that service tax registration (ST-2 certificate) should be issued within 2 working days of receiving a complete application.
This is part of the government's initiative to ease business registration.
2. Details of Main Bank Account (when bank account not opened yet)
The application requires details of your main bank account.
If you have not yet opened a bank account, you can:
Mention “Bank account not opened yet” in the application.
Attach a copy of your application for opening the bank account if available.
Once you get the ST-2 certificate, use it to open the bank account.
This circular requirement sometimes creates a “chicken and egg” problem, but the department understands this scenario.
3. Business Transaction Numbers from Other Government Departments
If you are not required to obtain VAT registration (e.g., you are a job work provider exempt from VAT), you can simply mention “Not Applicable” or “NA” in this field.
This is because VAT registration is not mandatory for your business as per the relevant VAT laws.
Summary Table
Requirement How to deal if not available
Details of main bank account Mention “Not opened yet” + attach bank account application
Business transaction numbers from other Govt. departments Mention “Not Applicable” if not liable for VAT or other registrations
