Twin Registrations for one client, Service Tax

[vaidehi chawhan]

Please opine: If a client has two service tax registrations done more than five years back, one with his individual PAN card reference and another with his Firm PAN card reference! both registered with the same service code and with different registration numbers. Is it practically feasible to cancel registration of one among two or would it create practical hassles with the concerned department.
