Excise and Service Tax Payments- Precautions

January 15, 2008 2258 Views 0 comment Print

It has been brought to our notice that the quality of data reported under EASIEST continues to be poor. Approximately, 45% of the challans do not bear any assessee code. It may please be noted that indication of assessee code and location code in the G.A.R.7 challan by the tax payer has since been made mandatory. Banks are, therefore, advised that no payment of Central Excise & Service Tax should be accepted by bank branches unless the assessee code of the tax-payer is quoted on the G.A.R.7 challan. At the time of acceptance of the challans, the authorised bank branches should, therefore, ensure that the 15 digit/character valid assessee code is quoted by the tax-payer in the challan.
