Attempting to create an Azure app service from a new subscription with the following details:
- SKU: S1
- Region: Central India
- OS: Windows
- Framework: ASP.Net 4.8
Efforts have been made to create it both from the Azure portal and Visual Studio. The same error is encountered each time:
"The subscription is not allowed to create or update the server farm while creating an app service."
Permissions have been checked (ownership of the subscription - Pay-as-you-go), and resource providers and locks appear to be configured correctly. It has been over 3 hours since the last attempt, as some posts suggested that the issue may resolve itself after some time, but the issue persists.

Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.
The subscription is not allowed to create or update the server farm” it means that you cannot create or modify an App Service Plan in your Azure subscription.Verify that you Pay-As-You-Go subscription does not contain a spending cap that prevents creating resources.
Find out if yours is a trial or student subscription type as these often come with a service cap.
Confirm that the S1 SKU is supported in Central India and remember that some regions have restrictions and or limited SKUs available for selection.
Go to the Azure Portal: Subscriptions > [Your Subscription] > Resource Providers
Look for
Microsoft.Web.Select it and click on Register if it’s not already registered.
Use Azure CLI or PowerShell to register it as well.az provider register --namespace Microsoft.WebAzure Policy and Management Group Restrictions:
Check if there are any Azure Policies or Management Group settings that could block you from creating App Service Plans.
Review resources in Azure Policy in the portal and evaluate any policies that could impact resource provisioning.
Quota Limitations: Check if your subscription has reached its quota limit in App Service Plans within Central India region.
To view your current usage and limits, navigate through Subscriptions > [Your Subscription] > Usage + quotas in the Azure Portal.
Attempt to create the App Service Plan using Azure CLI to rule out portal-specific issues,
az appservice plan create --name MyAppServicePlan --resource-group MyResourceGroup --sku S1 --location "Central India"https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/troubleshooting/error-resource-quota?tabs=azure-cli
