Service tax surrender on merger

You have to file an application for surrender service tax no. with all returns and service tax payment challan.

Surrender the regisatration of old company through ACES. Amend the registration of the existing company to make the same centralised and to the new premises. Amendment is also possible through ACES.

Thanks for the prompt reply

My doubt is that I'll have to first alppy for surrender, wait for surrender approval from department, and then amend of existing company registration.

or amending can be done before waiting for approval of surrender from department.

Thanks in advance

You dont need to wait for approval of your application for surrender and can proceed with amendment. Approval letter for surrender is a time taking process.

surrender the old service tax number , enclose the old RC, and "carry the returns of 2 years last (max)"*, state in your surrender letter the reason for doing this, 

a stamped copy of such letter is enough for you, in 30 days they will send u cancellation 

(ACES is only collection counter, they cant do anything more than it)

* returns they may ask to check whether its submitted or not, - not for re submission , but only to show that your records are update.
