From your query i guess you have a decentralised registeration. In this respect you can get a centralised registeration provided you have centralised billing or have maintained centralised accounting in respect of such taxable services in a premises. In addition the same you can also get centralisation at the zonal and regional level. (refer circular no. 97/6/2007) As relating to the transfer of input credit even that is possible you may refer to Rule 7 which deals with the provisions of Input service distributor and assess your case accordingly.
