The Service Tax dept in Indore insists on a 'courtsey amount' to be paid for any thing they do. I applied online for my ST number, and submitted the hard copy as needed. Got a few phone calls from the dept after that asking me who my consultant was. When I told them no one - I was asked to come and meet. I asked for the reason but none was provided. I did not go - as a result my ST form was changed at the back-end to point to some other department, and then rejected as "wrong application" (I have a print-out of the original submission which was to the correct department).
Finally I had to engage a consultant, who immediately paid Rs 3000 as bribe (ofcourse billed to me) and got my ST number promptly!!!
