It is not the case. The current threshold limit is Rs.10.00 lacs. If in any accounting year the receipts are below the limit then in the next accounting year u need not charge service tax till u cross the limit of Rs.10.00 lacs and only when, in any particular accounting year u cross the threshold limit, thereafter u r required to charge the Service Tax. e.g.
2010-11 Recepits Rs.4.00 lacs (Below The limit) Charge Service Tax supposing in the earleir year u were liable to charge Service Tax. 2011-12 Receipts Rs.8.00 Lacs No Service Tax 2012-13 Receipts Rs.22.00 Lacs Charge Service Tax once u cross the limit of Rs.10.00 lacs.
