I also declare that there is no government due pending against me and that there is no demand pending against us under Finance Act, 1994 and rule made thereunder pending as on the date of surrendering the Registration Certificate. Thanking You.
Yours Faithfully………


06 June 2011 Thanks Mr. Nair. However, I am asking for the Format of Affidavit to be given along with this covering letter.

07 June 2011 Seeking affidavit is not authorised under statute. I have not come across any such case.

07 June 2011 Mr. Nair, I have also never come across. Even, the Rules do not say any thing in this regard. However, in Delhi the department is asking for an affidavit with a clause " We hereby undertake to pay and satisfy the demand whether existing or raised in future"

On these lines, they are asking for an affidavit.
Whether we are bound to give such an Affidavit specially in a case where Rules do not ask for the same.

07 June 2011 It makes no difference. Because, even without affidavit, the statute contains clear provisions for recovering non-paid or short-paid service tax . Hence, affidavit is not an additional weapon in their hands.

07 June 2011 Thanks a lot Mr. Nair
