collecting money and seing to head office................ is it the service provided ?

as far as the courier service is concerned, head office itself can account all the bills of all branches or franchise provided they have systemietic accounting system to ensure that there is no evation done by any of its branch. i.e at the time of issue of CN or IGR they get it displayed at head office accounts,

if they have made permanent branches then they can opt for centralized number by making application to the Commissioner of ST where they wish to maintain their accounts.

unless the evation is concerned i.e the head office is paying the tax for all units consolidated, and can establish it with their records for verification, no undue harassment is initiated by the department. however for permanent branches the assesee may opt for branchwise or centralized registration as they deem fit.
