You can take service tax credit by quoteing their Reg. No., You must be having their bills/invoices raised on your company/firm, those invoices should have their Ser. tax reg. no.

You can ask the supplier to put the PAN based registration no. on the bills. As far as service tax registration no. is there on the bills, excise officers cannot deny credit on the same. If the supplier does not give the registration no, deduct the service tax amount and pay the balance amount.

Getting the proper registration no is the headeche of the supplier.
