### 1. **Process after online registration filing**
* When you submit your Service Tax registration application online (Form ST-1 or for non-assessees), you usually get an **acknowledgement number immediately**.
* However, the registration is **not complete until the department approves your application and issues a Service Tax Registration Certificate**.
* Often, you may be required to **submit the signed physical copy of the application to your jurisdictional Superintendent of Central Excise/Service Tax** office.
* The department will then process your application and provide the **registration number and certificate**.
---
### 2. **Can you charge Service Tax before receiving the registration certificate?**
* **Technically, you need to be registered first before charging Service Tax.**
* But in practical terms, once you have filed your application and have an acknowledgment number, many start charging Service Tax from the date of application (especially if taxable turnover threshold is crossed).
* However, it’s advisable to **wait for confirmation or registration number** to avoid issues in later compliance.
---
### 3. **Your next steps**
* Visit the jurisdictional Service Tax office and **submit the hard copy (signed) of your online application** as advised.
* Follow up with the Superintendent for registration approval.
* Once you get the certificate, you can confidently charge and file returns.
