Dear Experts,

I have 1 query regarding Service tax.

Our one service provider has opted for VECS scheme and so he has charged service tax for F.Y. 2011-12, 2012-13 and of current yr till date now my ques. is whether the Service Tax pertaining to previous yr will be treated as prior period item ..as per my understanding it should not be treated as prior period since he has not charged in the previous yr so there is no error.

Also can we claim Input credit of that ?

Dear Expert panelists, I recently cleared my 1st group of IPCC & i was seriously considering that I start my articleship after the next IPCC exams in May 2014 so that I can clear my 2nd group the then work as an article trainee. Can I register for the same after the exams ? Does the institute revoke a candidates eligibility for articleship if he/she does not register for the same, within a span of 3 months from the date of release of the results?

Please explain the concept of Fiscal Deficit in detail.
