12 November 2024 You can use a generic or residual code that is closest to the service you provide. The Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) has provided a list of generic codes that can be used when a specific code is not available.

Better to Reach out to your jurisdictional Range/Division Officer or the Central Excise/Service Tax authorities and explain the situation. They may:
Provide guidance on using an alternative code
Suggest creating a new code (if feasible)
Offer assistance in updating the system to include the service tax demand tab.
