i had sumitted an application in st-1 online. thereafter within 15 days i physically sumbitted st-1 alongwith relevant documents.
on the same day i received ST-2 cetificate by email.
since printer of dept was not working. office told me that tomorrow bring the printout of st-2 from your office/cyber cafe and i put my stamp and signature.
My question : 1. should i go to service tax office and get the same stamped and signed or i can use it without stamp and signature ? 2. Earlier during my articleship (manual application)officer used to take 500 (bribe) for issuing the certificate ? Is that practice still in force in thane/mumbai ?

I think there is no need to go to the ST office for acknowledgement if u have filed ST-2 return electronically/online. You should file one copy alongwith challans showing ST payment thru post/courier. As regards other question when u r not going to ST office no question arises.
