You would have to get the separate registration untill unless you opt for Centralised Registration Certificate.

Separate registration would be required  for each business unless you go for Centralised Registration

How can one centralized registration be granted for two proprietary concerns? For example, for proprietary firms, A enterprises and B enterprises, single registration/ centralized registration cannot be granted. U have to opt for separate registration.

Dear Dhanpati Shah,

Please read the query meticulously wherein it is mentioned that  "two Proprietory concern situated at two different place under one proprietor.

Proprietor is one but the concerns are two and that are at two different places.  Therefore we had suggested for Centralized Registration Certificate.

Dear Mr. Khatri

In case ST-2 is issued in the name of  A Enterprises, can he use the same STC No for invoices issued by B Enterprises, even though the ST-2 is issued for the registrant  "A Enterprises" and needless to say that ST-2 is not transferable?

A proprietor may have two units under Centralized Registration Certificate. 

AI Summary

Centralized Registration Certificate can permit one proprietor to cover multiple business units; otherwise separate registration required.
Whether a sole proprietor operating two distinct proprietary concerns may use an existing service tax registration for both units or must obtain separate registration is the central issue. Responses indicate separate registration is generally required unless the proprietor obtains a Centralized Registration Certificate, which can cover multiple units; certificates issued to one enterprise are not ordinarily transferable to another.
