Can the Service Tax be deposited in Non-designated banks?
No. For payment of Service Tax, specific bank has been nominated for every Central Excise/Service Tax Commissionerate. If Service Tax is deposited in a Branch /Bank other than the nominated Bank / Branch, it amounts to non-payment of Service Tax (Rule 6(2) of the STR, 1994). In any case, a non-designated bank will not accept service tax challans.
