Query regarding appeal to CESTAT ?, Service Tax

[sumeet tholle]

Dear Sir,

One co-operative bank having 8 branches.

Each branch having separate Service Tax registration number.

(Branch do not have separate PAN as bank having PAN).

SCN issued to all branches. Issue in SCN is 100% same for all branches.

My query:- Can I file single appeal file before CESTAT on behalf of all branches ?

Or I need to file separate appeal against each OIA ?

Pl. reply.

Thanks and Regards.

Dear Sumeet,

You need to file separate appeal against each Order in Appeal. This is settled legal position.

As the stage of adjudication you can write to the CBEC to collate and merge the hearing and provide where you wish to be heard. Normally they issue a notification and it would be heard in 1 place. after which the order would be appealable to 1 jurisdicational Tribunal.
