Service Tax Clearance certificate: no statutory certificate exists; provide registration copy or self declaration of compliance instead.
No statutory Service Tax Clearance Certificate exists and the department has no authority to issue one; tenderers should provide a copy of their Service Tax Registration and may attach a company self certification that, to the best of their knowledge and records, service tax liabilities and return filing obligations have been complied with. Tendering authorities commonly accept the registration copy or a self declaration; requests for an Income Tax clearance or a department certified copy reflect tender requirements but do not create a statutory departmental service tax clearance certificate.
