1. If they are having the centralized billing or centralized accounting the no separate Service tax no is required for each state otherwise yes {Rule 4(2),(3)of Service tax rules}

2.Yes you can claim by following Rule 2(l) of CCR,2004.

3.Yes provided all are providing taxable Services , if any of the unit is providing exempt services then follow the method given in rule 6(3) of CCR,2004.

Thanks
