Dear Mohit, I dont there is any such optional service tax registration system prevailing. According to service tax rules it is mentioned that when small service provider value of services exceed Rs. 9 lakhs, registration should be done. And yes to small service provider 10 exemption is available.

Yes if he is a small service provider than he will get this exemption. Dear I think it in sec 69 please read it from there, I am sure being a c.a you will understand it much better from there. Regards
