18 July 2012 Hello everyone,

i had sumitted an application in st-1 online. thereafter within 15 days i physically sumbitted st-1 alongwith relevant documents.

on the same day i received ST-2 cetificate by email.

since printer of dept was not working. office told me that tomorrow bring the printout of st-2 from your office/cyber cafe and i put my stamp and signature.

My question :
1. should i go to service tax office and get the same stamped and signed or i can use it without stamp and signature ?
2. Earlier during my articleship (manual application)officer used to take 500 (bribe) for issuing the certificate ? Is that practice still in force in thane/mumbai ?

waiting for your reply urgently ?

20 July 2012 I think there is no need to go to the ST office for acknowledgement if u have filed ST-2 return electronically/online. You should file one copy alongwith challans showing ST payment thru post/courier. As regards other question when u r not going to ST office no question arises.

22 July 2012 Dear friend, Dont write openly about the department expenses in future.

In my opinion, the department seal with AC/DC signature is advisable.
