Queries 693 views 4 replies

Hi Friends,

I have a party who has service tax no. starting with TAN instead of PAN.

i.e. XXXXnnnnnXSTnnn

While preparing ST-3 for April to June 2012 in excel utility, i found an error that STC code is not in correct format.

There should be 5th character alphabatic and not numaric.

I can't resolve this error. Please help me out.

As the return is not available in online mode and in offline mode i have above error, i am not able file return.

Thanks in advance...

Service Tax No always starts with TAN and not PAN. I have never heared of Service Tax No starting with TAN. You need to check it again.

sir i have already checked and it is cinfirm that ST No. starts with TAN

Dear Sweta,

TAN is having 4 Alpha+4 Numberic+1alpha, 

where as ST/CER contains 5 Alpha+4 Numeric+3 alpha+3 numeric.

5 alpha+ 4 numric+1 alpha upto this as per my knowledge it contains PAN only. if it is CER they will give E+M or D, for ST S+T(old)+D(new now) it is coming.
