I am already registered with service department under authorised service station category, i am opening a new branch at a new location , on asking the authorities i was told that they will give a branch liscence only if i maintain centralised accounts i,e continuous serial number. Is it legally allowed to take a new liscence at my branch as they are advising me to do so

UNDER SERV. TAX ACT WHERE A PERSON OR AN ENTITY HAS MORE THAN ONE PLACE OF BUSINESS, CENTRALISED REGISTRATION IS APPLICABLE. BUT LET ME TELL YOU WHERE A COMPANY IS THE SAME BUT TAXABLE SERVICE CATOGORY IS DEIFFERENT WHERE THE COMPANY HAS A MANUFACTURING FACILITY IN ONE PLACE AND A RENTING OF COMMERCIAL PROPERTY IN A DIFFERENT PLACE ( DIFFERENT TOWN),THE COMPANY CAN OBTAIN TWO SEPARATE REGISTRATIONS BECAUSE THE TAXABLE SERVICES CATEGORY IS DIFFERENT FOR THE TWO ACTIVITIES.
