Service Tax Commission

You will find the Service Tax Commission on the 5th floor of the Central Excise Building. We are located at 115 M K Road in Churchgate, which is right opposite the main railway station. It is a very old and incredibly busy part of Mumbai to work in. Being right across from the station means there is a constant, never-ending stream of people and noise all day long. The building itself has that very old government feel to it, with those high ceilings and heavy wooden doors that have been there for decades. Our office is usually filled with the sound of old fans whirring and the clicking of people typing. There are massive stacks of files and old documents everywhere you look. It is a lot of heavy administrative work, handling various taxes and official filings. It is certainly not the kind of place that looks modern or sleek in any way. Everything here is very functional and quite a bit worn down from years of use. We deal with a lot of different visitors every single day, people coming in to try and sort out their tax issues. The lift is often very crowded, so sometimes walking up to the 5th floor is actually faster, even if it is a bit of a workout. We have been here for a long time, and the daily rhythm of the place never really changes. We just go through the files and process the applications. There’s always more paper on the desks.
