Yes. Please be specific to your queries. Tell which which Government Department is Charging Service Tax but does not have PAN?

In case of Government Companies who are charging tax, they have undoubtedly PAN and Service Tax Registration also. So, I do not think that the scenario envisaged by you exists at all.

Let us be more specific.

postal deptt. is not charging service tax

Postal dept. collects on Speed Post. verify the receipt whenever you send speed post.

I am sure that there need not be a PAN No. for every service tax collector.

For example You verify the PAN application form of UTI, you will find the Service Tax Regn No. as ST/BAS/STC/BEL/420/2004-2005.

do you say that this is based on PAN No.
