Authorities for registration under MVAT, CST and PT Acts. The applications were
received by different Registering Authorities and processed separately for
granting registration under different Acts. Registration Numbers (i.e. TIN for MVAT
& CST, PTRC and PTEC Numbers) were generated and certificates were issued
on the date of completion of all requirements upon successful verification by
concerned MSTD official.
