Sir,

Two entities cannot have same service tax registration number. PAN may be same but not the registration number. If two invoices have the same registration number credit of input service tax is deniable in respect of one of them.

Dear Sandesh,

If it is a mistake due to some printing error at the end of printer, then, by submitting the documentary evidences to the Deputy Commissioner of Service Tax, CENVAT credit may be allowed as such mistakes are curable. Please check the material facts at your end.

I agree with both the expert. It is better to clarify at initial stage, if it is found in audit then interest penalty will be levied unnecessarily.
