PLEASE CONTACT TO YOUR JURISDICTIONAL SERVICE TAX AUTHORITY WHO WILL TELL YOU THE CORRECT RANGE BASED ON YOUR LOCAL AREA WHERE YOUR PREMISES IS ESTABLISHED. IT CAN NOT BE DECIDED BY THE ASSESSEE SELF.
THANKS. RAJEEV KUMAR GARG CONSULTANT, SERVICE TAX PH. 7500802402
It means, there is no meaning of online registration with out contacting service tax officer offline.
And when I will meet them offline, I am sure, they will ask for bribe or will indirectly try to show mistakes for my correct documents and help to loose my confidence that I am correct.
DO NOT YOU THINK, there should be predefined area list along with their respective range code published while online registration of service tax or on service tax website.
DO NOT YOU THINK, if this list is not published, there is no meaning of online registration by yourself instead of contacting again the busy service tax people offline.
My Experience: ------------------ I tried to register MSME Enterpreneur Memorandum Part 2, service tax and even try to find Entrepreneur Memorandum Part 1 (Provisional), and I found one common thing in all registration.
The registration form looks simple to fillup, and when you go forward, there will be atleast one such difficulty so that you can not really submit the form for registration and some time, submit button does not work at all.
what I hope, these mistakes or diffculity are intentionally added into the form so that you need to visit the respective office offline for registation or need to hire a broker to do your registration.
At last: ------------------- My query is still not resolved. Does any Expert on this topic at CA Club to help me out?
I hope at least from Mr. Jain whom I have seen answering very frequently.
I am really not satisfied with your answer. Either you want me to contact you by giving your mobile number for registration or diverting me from searching solution for this.
I know, there are lot of expert available in CA Club and will help me.

DEAR MARTIN JI, I CAN UNDER STAND YOUR PROBLEM AND I HAVE FULL SYMPATHY WITH YOU BUT WHAT CAN WE DO IN SUCH INDIAN SYSTEM. WE GIVE OUR REPLY ON THE BASIS OF ACT, RULES, NOTIFICATIONS, CIRCULARS AND SYSTEM BUT WE CAN NOT CHANGE THEM. THE GOVT. HAS CREATED SO MANY RANGES, DIVISIONS,COMMISSIONERATES AND HAS APPOINTED SO MANY OFFICERS TO HELP US AND HAS GIVEN THEM SO MANY RESPONSIBILITIES. HOW CAN BE POSSIBLE IF EVERY BODY KEEPS HIM ON LINE ONLY BY AVOIDING THEM. FURTHER, THE MAIN PURPOSE OF FILING APPLICATION FOR REGISTRATION ON LINE IS TO FILL YOUR DETAIL IN CORRECT MANNER AND GET YOUR REGISTRATION QUICKLY BUT THAT IS A TEMPORARY REGISTRATION. FINAL REGISTRATION IS ISSUED BY THE DEPARTMENT, WHEN YOU SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION ALONG WITH ALL NECESSARY DOCUMENTS LIKE COPY OF PAN OF FIRM, COPY OF ADDRESS PROOF, PARTNERSHIP DEED, COPIES OF PARTNER'S PAN,ADDRESS PROOF OF PARTNERS (IN THE CASE OF PARTNERSHIP FIRM), LETTER OF AUTHORIZATION, MEMORANDUM OF ARTICLE (IN THE CASE OF CO.) ETC. FOR VERIFICATION BY THE DEPARTMENT. HOWEVER, IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT IN MY PREVIOUS REPLY REGARDING SERVICE TAX RANGE AND DIVISION, YOU ARE FREE TO CALL "ACES SERVICE HELP DESK" ON TOLL FREE NO. 1800 425 4251 on any working day from Monday to Friday between 9 AM and 7 PM and on Saturdays from 9 AM to 2.30 PM, OR CAN SEND YOUR EMAIL TO aces.servicedesk@icegate.gov.in (TAKEN FROM ACES OFFICIAL WEBSITE aces.gov.in).
AT LAST, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT AS FAR AS MY KNOWLEDGE IS CONCERN, THERE IS NO SUCH AREA WISE LIST LOADED ON THEIR SERVER/SYSTEM FOR SEARCHING RANGE OR DIVISION AUTOMATICALLY. IF YOU FIND IT, PLEASE ALSO TELL ME FOR THE SAKE OF OTHER FRIENDS. THANKS A LOT. Rajeev Kumar Garg (M.Com, L.L.B.) Consultant (Excise, Customs & Service Tax)
