CESTAT held that pre-deposit made under incorrect service tax registration number does not invalidate tax payment. The tribunal recognized administrative errors in tax registration can be rectified through appropriate accounting adjustments. Based on precedential cases and departmental circulars, the court determined that payments by the same entity under different registration numbers constitute valid tax compliance. The technical discrepancy in registration number does not negate the substantive tax payment. Consequently, the appellant was deemed entitled to refund of pre-deposit, with the revenue department directed to make necessary accounting corrections. Appeal was allowed, affirming procedural flexibility in tax administration.
